A method of preparing 2,6-di-tert.butyl-4-methylphenol comprising reacting 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol with formaldehyde and dimethylamine in a medium of methanol or ethanol at a temperature within the range of from 80.degree. to 90.degree. C to give a reaction mass containing N,N-dimethyl-3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxybenzylamine and readily-volatile products such as methanol or ethanol, water and bis-amine. The readily-volatile products are removed from the reaction mass by heating thereof to a temperature within the range of from 110.degree. to 140.degree. C simultaneously with purging the reaction mass with an inert gas containing a secondary amine in an amount of from 5 to 50% by volume. Thereafter, N,N-dimethyl-3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxybenzylamine is contacted with hydrogen at a molar ratio therebetween of 1:4-10 respectively on a hydrogenation catalyst at a temperature ranging from 120.degree. to 160.degree. C, to give the desired product which is then isolated. The method according to the present invention makes it possible to increase the desired product yield and improve quality thereof as compared to the prior art methods. The yield of the desired product is 98.7% as calculated per the starting raw materials. The method is technologically simple.

Method of preparing 2,6-di-tert.butyl-4-methylphenol

A method of producing 2,6-ditertbutyl-4-methylphenol comprises hydrogenolysis of N,N-dimethyl-(3,5-ditertbutyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-amine in the presence of a fused catalyst, containing Ni, Al, Ti, in the medium of a solvent, namely 2,6-ditertbutyl-4-methylphenol solvent medium. The invention allows improving the quality of the product and obtaining it with a high yield.

Method of producing 2,6-ditertbutyl-4-methylphenol

A method of producing 2,6-dialkyl- and 2,6-diaralkyl-substituted derivatives of p-cresol of the general formula ##SPC1## Wherein R signifies an alkyl group having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms or ##SPC2## Comprising subjecting phenol to alkylation with olefines having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms or with styrene at a temperature of 50.degree.-150.degree.C in the presence of a catalyst, namely, aluminum, taken in an amount of 0.1-5 wt.% of phenol. 2,6-Dialkyl phenol or 2,6-diaralkyl phenol resulting after from the alkylation is treated with a mixture of formaldehyde and dimethylamine or with a product of their interaction having the formula ##EQU1## at a temperature of 20.degree.-100.degree.C with subsequent catalytic hydrogenolysis of N,N-dimethyl(3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)/amine or N,N-dimethyl(3,5-diaralkyl-4-hydroxybenzyl/amine at a temperature of 80.degree.-200.degree.C., molar ratio of hydrogen to the product being treated of 1-5:1 and space velocity of 0.1-2 hour.sup..sup.-1. The products produced by said method feature a high degree of purity, and they can be employed as effective inhibitors of thermooxidation degradation of polymers and hydrocarbon fuels, and also as intermediates for producing p-cresol, and 2-alkyl- and 2-aralkyl-substituted derivatives of p-cresol.
