Abstract

Base-and Co (Salpr)-promoted oxygenations of title compounds have been investigated with a view to obtaining further details concerning controlling factors in regioselective O2 incorporation into phenols. In the oxygenation of 4-alkenyl-2, 6-di-tert-butyl-and 2-alkenyl-4, 6-di-tert-butylphenols (1 and 12), the reactivity of the substrates and regioselectivity in the O2 incorporation may be interpreted in terms of electronic and steric effects of the alkenyl ...
