Abstract

A process for preparing 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-mercapto-phenol. This is accomplished by sulfonation of the phenol with a silylated sulfonating agent (e.g., trimethylsilyl-chlorosulfonate). The sulfonic acid is then reduced directly or is converted to the sulfonyl halide intermediate which is then reduced to yield the 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-mercapto-phenol.
