Diastereomers of 2,6-bis(α-methylbenzyl)phenol: synthesis and separation
摘要
The alkylation of phenol with styrene afforded a mixture of diastereomers of 2,6-bis-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol, which was separated by the O-acylation and subsequent chromatography of the resulting derivatives. The structures and relative configurations of the individual diastereomers were established by X-ray diffraction analysis of their O-acyl derivatives.
