Abstract :
ortho-Regioselective de-tert-butylation of poly-tert-butylphenols is performed by treatment with montmorillonite KSF as a cheap, green and reusable catalyst. The procedure can be utilised for converting an equimolecular mixture of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and phenol into the more precious 4-tert-butylphenol (77% yield, 93% selectivity).
