Conclusions
Methylenequinones obtained by the oxidation of 4-Ω-hydroxyalkyl-2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenols undergo inter- and intramolecular transformations to give oligomers or tetra-hydrofuran and hydroxyketone derivatives depending on the position of the hydroxyl group in the aliphatic chain of the para substituent.
