Alkylation of 2-chlorophenol with isobutylene. The catalyst was prepared in the autoclave by heating 644 g. (5 moles) of 2-chlorophenol with 4.5 g. (V, formula wt.) of aluminum turnings. Alkylation with isobutylene was effected at 80-90°and the product worked up to give 550 g. (60%) of 2terí-butyl-6-chlorophenol (b.p. 123°at 30 mm.; n1 2D°1.5265).Anal. Caled, for Ci0Hi3C1O: Cl, 19.2. Found: Cl, 19.3. Proof of structure of 2-tert-butyl-6-chlorophenol. A portion of the product of the above experiment was chlorinated with sulfuryl chloride to yield 2,4-dichloro-6-ier<-butylphenol (for chlorination method see under structure proof of 2,6diisopropylphenol). The 2,4-dichloro-6-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
