REACTION OF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID WITH 2,6-DI-TERT-BUTYLPHENOL AND ITS DERIVATIVES

-

Efficient synthesis of 2,5-di-t-butyl-4-fluorophenol

When 4-fluorophenol was refluxed with excess of t-butyl chloride in the presence of various catalysts, e.g. Envirocat EPZG, EPZ10, EPIC, sulfated zirconia, natural kaolinitic clay, zirconium nitrate, zinc chloride and bismuth nitrate, the product obtained was 2,5,di-t-butyl 4-fluorophenol in excellent yield.

STERICALLY HINDERED 4-HYDROXYBENZENESULFENYL CHLORIDE: REACTIVITY WITH TRIVALENT PHOSPHORUS ESTERS

The reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzenesulfenyl chloride, 1, with the trialkyl phosphites 5a-d gave the corresponding S-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-O,O-dialkyl phosphorothiolates 6a-d.The formation of 6a-d constitutes chemical evidence for the intermediacy of 1 which was previously inferred from spectroscopic evidence.
