Abstract
Tertiary hydroperoxides have been utilized for the electrophilic alkylation of activated aromatic substrates, particularly phenols and phenol ethers. Cumyl (1) and tert-butyl (2) hydroperoxides have shown a greatly different behavior as concerns the catalysis and the regioselectivity. The best catalyst for 1 is TiCl4, which is completely inactive with 2. With the latter an effective catalyst is FeCl3, which, however, can give rise to a combination of electrophilic and radical reactions with alkyl phenols. 2,2'- Dihydroxy-3,3'-di-tert-butyl-5,5'-dimethyldiphenyl is obtained in high yields from p-cresol.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
