Abstract

The reaction of 4-bromo-2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one (1) with pyridine (3) afforded 1-(3,5-di-t-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridinium bromide (4) in 20% yield, which gave easily 2,4-di-t-butyl-6-(1-pyridinio)phenolate (10) by the treatment with strong base such as DBU. It was also found in this reaction that addition of ethylene glycol increased the yield of 4 from 20% to 45%. The reduction of 4 and 10 with sodium borohydride afforded same product, 2,4-di-t-butyl-6-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-1-pyridyl)phenol (11). A tentative mechanistic interpretation for the formation of 4 is also proposed.
