The molecular structure of E-1-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-hydroxyiminoethane was determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis. Its oxidation leads to the formation of the Z and E isomers of 1-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-phenoxy)-1-hydroxyiminoethane. The ratio of the isomers is controlled by the temperature of the solution and by the polarity of the solvent. Stabilization of the E isomer is promoted by increase in the polarity of the solvent. The kinetic and activation parameters of the Z /r reversible/ E isomerization were determined by the ESR method.
