The authors explain how di(hydroxydialkylaryl) derivatives of methane play an important role in the inhibition of oxidation processes in polymers, oils, fuels, and other organic materials. They investigate the reaction of 4-methyl-2-tert-butylphenol with dimethoxymethane, and established that the reaction mass contained 2-methoxymethyl-4-6-tert-butylphenol. The formation and the transformations of 2-methoxymethyl-4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol do not have a significant effect on the synthesis of di(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-tert-butylphenyl) methane from 4-methyl-2-tert-butyl-phenol and dimethoxymethane.
