p-Me3CC6H4ONa treated with EtCHBrCO2Et in MeOH gave p-Me3CC6H4OCHEtCO2Et which was hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid (I), 63%, m. 87-8.5¡ã (from petr. ether-C6H6) (all m.ps. reported are corrected). Similarly were obtained: p-Me3CC6H4CHBuCO2H, 69%, m. 89-90¡ã, and p-Me3CC6H4CHAmCO2H, 63%, m. 72-3¡ã. The ¦Á-aryloxy acids were converted with SOCl2 to the corresponding acyl chlorides, p-Me3CC6H4OCHRCOCl (II) (R, b.p./mm., % yield, n20D, and d20 given): H (III), 130-2¡ã/5, 90, 1.5162, 1.1128, from p-tert-BuC6H4OCH2CO2H, m. 88-9¡ã; Me (IV), 143-5¡ã/26, 60, 1.5092, 1.0775, from p-Me3CC6H4OCHMeCO2H, m. 86-7¡ã; Et, 131-2¡ã/3, 94, 1.5055, 1.0651; Bu, 143-4¡ã/3, 95, 1.5018, 1.0641; and Am, 149-50¡ã/6, 97, 1.5003, 0.9984. To 0.5 g. II in 100 cc. dry Et2O was added dry NH3 and the crude precipitate filtered off and recrystallized from MeOH to give the amides p-Me3CC6H4OCHRCONH2 (R, m.p., and % yield given): H, 131-2¡ã, 86; Me, 116-17¡ã, 91; Et, 97-9¡ã, 87; Bu, 145-6¡ã, 71; and Am, 86-7¡ã, 76. III in 20 cc. dry C6H6 warmed with an equivalent amount PhNH2 on the water bath gave p-Me3CC6H4OCH2CONHPh, m. 91-2¡ã. Similarly was prepared p-Me3CC6H4OCHMeCONHPh, m. 83-4¡ã. The dehydrochlorination of III as previously described (cf. C.A. 45, 10128i) gave 37% p-tert-butylphenoxyketene dimer (V), m. 85-6¡ã, b5 180-3¡ã. IV gave similarly 55% p-tert-butylphenoxymethylketene dimer (VI), m. 78-9¡ã, b6 147-50¡ã. By the same procedure were prepared the following p-tert-butylphenoxyalkylketene monomers (alkyl, b.p./mm., % yield, n20D, and d20 given): Et (VII), 175-6¡ã/12, 66, 1.5178, 1.0132; Bu (VIII), 169-71¡ã/10, 54, 1.5044, 1.0157; and Am (IX), 132-3¡ã/5, 73, 1.5056, 0.9771. Weighed samples of the ketenes (5-15 g.) in 25 cc. petr. ether were hydrogenated 4-6 hrs. over 2-4 g. Raney Ni at 1500-3500 lb./sq. in. pressure, the mixture filtered, the solvent distilled off, the residue distilled, and the glycol fraction washed with small portions 15% aqueous Na2CO3 and H2O, dried with MgSO4, and redistilled, giving 2 fractions, p-Me3CC6H4OH, m. 94-5¡ã (from petr. ether-C6H6), and glycols corresponding to the ketene dimer. In the case of V, the p-Me3C6H4 was not split off and the only product was 2,4-bis(p-tert-butylphenoxy)-1,3-butanediol dimer, m. 88-9¡ã ; bis(3,5-dinitrobenzoate), m. 140-1¡ã. VI gave by hydrogenation 50% CHMe.CH(OH).CHMe.CHOH, b20 83-4¡ã n20D 1.5328, d20 1.0570; bis(3,5-dinitrobenzoate), 40%, m. 126-7¡ã. The other ketenes were converted similarly to the corresponding CHR.CH(OH).CHR.CHOH (X) [R, % yield, b.p./mm., n20D, d20, and, in parentheses, the % yield and m.p. of the bis(3,5-dinitrobenzoate), given]: Et, 65, 75-7¡ã/10, 1.4458, 0.9165 (37, 165-6¡ã); Bu, 40, 125-6¡ã/3, 1.4343, 0.9108 (35, 162-3¡ã); and Am, 35, 125-7¡ã/5, 1.4388, 0.8957 (50, 163-4¡ã). The 2 isomeric forms of the previously prepared (2,4-Cl2C6H3OCR:C:O)2 (XI), where R is Et, Pr, and Bu, gave by the same procedure the following pairs of isomeric X [R, % yield, b.p./mm., n20D (except where otherwise stated), d20 values and in parentheses, the % yield and m.p. of the bis(p-nitrobenzoate) given]: Et, 55, 60-3¡ã/3, n21D 1.5228, 1.0018 (48, 118-19¡ã), and 40% 2,4-Cl2C6H3OH (XII), m. 42-3¡ã (3,5-dinitrobenzoate, m. 142-3¡ã), from liquid XI with R = Et; Et, 20, 59-61¡ã/3, 1.5362, 1.0784, MRD 41.64 (54, 85-6¡ã), and 35% XII from solid XI with R = Et; Pr, 20, m. 21-3¡ã, 63-5¡ã/3, n25D 1.5362, 1.0757 (56, 88-90¡ã), and 65% XII from liquid XI with R = Pr; Pr, 67, 102-4¡ã/3, 1.5261, 1.0612, MRD 49.76 (68, 114-15¡ã), and 28% XII from solid XI with R = Pr; Bu, 27, 62¡ã/4, 1.5183, 1.0688, MRD) 56.73 (45, 115-16¡ã), and 45% XII from liquid XI with R = Bu; and Bu, 56, 65-8¡ã/2, 1.5299, 1.0378, MRD 59.53 (61, 119-20¡ã), and 38% XII from solid XI with R = Bu.
