Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A process of preparing a hindered alkenyl phenol comprising reacting (a) an α-haloalkyl phenol with (b) a basic dehydrohalogenation agent, wherein the α-haloalkyl phenol has the following structural formula ##STR9## and the hindered alkenyl phenol has the following structural formula ##STR10## wherein A has the structure ##STR11## and wherein R and R 1 are tertiary alkyl radicals having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, R 3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and aryl radicals having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, with the proviso that at least one of R 2 and R 3 is hydrogen, and X is a halo radical selected from the group consisting of chloro, bromo and iodo.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A process of preparing a hindered alkenyl phenol comprising reacting (a) an α-haloalkyl phenol with (b) a basic dehydrohalogenation agent, wherein the α-haloalkyl phenol has the following structural formula ##STR9## and the hindered alkenyl phenol has the following structural formula ##STR10## wherein A has the structure ##STR11## and wherein R and R 1 are tertiary alkyl radicals having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, R 3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and aryl radicals having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, with the proviso that at least one of R 2 and R 3 is hydrogen, and X is a halo radical selected from the group consisting of chloro, bromo and iodo.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein R 3 is hydrogen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 2 wherein R 2 is hydrogen, R and R 1 are tertiary butyl radicals and X is chloro.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
76 words
The process of preparing a hindered alkenyl phenol from an α-haloalkyl phenol according to claim 1 comprising (a) reacting an alkyl phenol having the following structural formula ##STR12## with a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine an iodine to form a quinol halide having the following structural formula ##STR13## (b) treating the quinol halide with aqueous HX to form the α-haloalkyl phenol, and (c) reacting the α-haloalkyl phenol with the basic dehydrohalogenation agent.
