Mode opératoire

Next 2,4-di-(tert-amyl)phenoxybenzoic acid was prepared. A mixture of methyl 2,4-di-(tert-amyl)phenoxybenzoate (7.44 g, 20 mmol), potassium hydroxide (2.3 g, 40 mmol), and ethanol (60 mL) was heated at reflux for 4 h and then cooled to ambient. Diethyl ether (20 mL) was added, and the mixture was washed twice with 10% aqueous HCl. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was removed at reduced pressure to deposit a yellow solid. This crude product was purified by recrystallization from heptane to provide 5.0 g, 70% of theory) of 2,4-di-(tert-amyl)phenoxybenzoic acid as a tan solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 0.75 (t, 6H), 1.3 (s, 6H), 1.4 (s, 6H), 1.65 (q, 2H), 1.80 (q, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 6.80 (d, 2H), 7.15 (m, 2H), 7.35(br s, 1H), 7.45 (t, 1H), 8.2 (d, 1H).
