Revised data for the reaction of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide with sterically hindered p-cresols
摘要
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol reacted with an equimolar amount of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide to give 4-bromomethyl derivative but not 4-hydroxymethyl derivative as was reported earlier. The present work is devoted to the synthesis of 4-bromomethylphenols with bulky tert-butyl and/or isobornyl moieties at positions 2 and 6.
