Process for production of sulfur-containing phenols

摘要: A new process for the preparation of 4,4''-thiobis(2,6-di-tbutylphenol) is disclosed. Hindered phenol, 2,6-di-t-butylphenol, reacted with a sulfur chloride in absence or presence catalytic amount iron powder Lewis acid and reaction product then heated caustic alkali solvent. The yields 4,4''-thiobis(2,6-di-t-butylphenol) economically high yield.
