Abstract

Abstract The process of thermolysis of tert-butylated hydroxyalkyl phenols includes de-tert- butylation, etherification, and fragmentation of the hydroxyalkyl group. On the basis of the proposed schemes of the mechanism of thermal de-tert-butylation the path of the search for catalysts for the synthesis of 4-hydroxyalkylphenols is defined and transformations of the by- products into biologically active substances were considered.
