Conclusions
-
1.
The transbutylation of the aromatic substrate takes place in the system 3,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol-H2SO4-aromatic hydrocarbon.
-
2.
The efficiency of transbutylation depends on the basicity of the aromatic hydrocarbon and on the presence in the system of bases that are capable of acting as competitive proton binders.
