Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The oxidation of 4-R-2,6-di-tert-butylphenoIs and the nature of the products depend on the nature of the functional group in the R substituent and the number of methylene units between the aromatic ring and the functional group.

  2. 2.

    The oxidation of esters of 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenylpropionic acid proceeds with oxidative cyclization and the formation of 6,8-di-tert-butylspiro(4,5)deca-1-oxa-5,8-diene-2,7-dione.
