Abstract
2,6-Dihydrocarbyl-4-(nitroaryl)phenols are prepared by reacting (1) a nitroaromatic compound bearing a displaceable substituent selected from nitro and phenylsulfonyl on a ring carbon which is adjacent to, or separated by two ring atoms from, the ring carbon bearing the nitro substituent with (2) a 2,6-dihydrocarbylphenol selected from 2,6-di-t-butyl- , 2,6-di-t-amyl-, 2-t-butyl-6-isopropyl-, and 2,6-diphenylphenols having a replaceable hydrogen in the 4-position in an inert solvent and in the presence of a strong base. The preferred nitroaromatic compounds are 1,2- and 1,4-dinitrobenzenes, 1-nitro-2-phenylsulfonylbenzenes, and 1-nitro-4-phenylsulfonylbenzenes; and a preferred phenol is 2,6-di-t-butylphenol.
