Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The phenoxyl radicals that are formed in the oxidation of the methyl ester ofβ-(3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid are capable of dimerization, entering into cross recombination, and disproportionation to give the phenol and methylenequinone.

  2. 2.

    α-Methylcarboxymethyl-2,6-di-tert-butylmethylenequinone isomerizes spontaneously to the methyl ester ofβ-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)cinnamic acid.

  3. 3.

    The stableα-methylcarboxy-2,6-di-tert-butylmethylenequinone was obtained.
