Abstract: | Oxidation of 4- -morpholino- -(2-hydroxyphenyl)]methyl-2,6-di-(tert-butyl)-phenol (I) follows an unusual course, with formal loss of the benzyl carbon atom, to give 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexa-2,5-dienone (II), which is thermochromic in solution. This property is due to the dissociation of (II) into morpholine and 3 ,5 -di(tert-butyl)-2,4 -diphenoxyquinone. The structure of (II) was established directly by x-ray diffraction, which enabled its conformational features to be related to its thermochromic properties. An x-ray examination of 3,3 ,5,5 -tetra(tertbutyl)-2,4 -diphenoquinone (X), together with the direct synthesis of the thermochromic analog of (II) (2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)phenyl]cyclohexa-2,5-dienone) (XI) from (X) and morpholine, confirmed the proposed mechanism of thermochromic dissociation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1121–1129, May, 1991.The authors thank V.
