Notes:
Photochemical reactions of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (3) in hexane solutions lead to the formation of 2,6,2′,6′-tetra-tert-butyl-4,4′-ethylenediphenol (1) and 2,6,2′,6′-tetra-tert-butyl-4,4′-ethanediylidenedi(2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one) (2) in a mole ratio of 10:1 in the first step. The formation of acetophenone due to the decomposition of di(α,α-dimethylbenzyl) peroxide (dicumyl peroxide) (6) is inhibited by 3 in hexane solution. The inhibiting effect of 3 is greater if the reaction is initiated by light absorbed by 6 than when it is initiated by light absorbed by both 3 and 6.
