Abstract: | Conclusions The reaction of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinonediazide with primary aliphatic amines leads to the formation of intermediate unstable triazenes which, in turn, break down through a radical mechanism to form 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone, the final reaction products.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 771–775, April, 1977. |
