Publication date: Available online 6 November 2019Source: Journal of Saudi Chemical SocietyAuthor(s): Zhang-Qin Liu, Peng-Sheng You, Chuan-Hua Wu, Yang-Hong HanAbstractA rapid and efficient methodology for the synthesis of polysubstituted para-quinone methides (p-QMs) from aldehyde and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol has been achieved in solvent-free and microwave irradiation condition within 33 min. This strategy displays the advantages including high atom economy, good functional group tolerance, and environmentally friendly operation.
