3,5-Dialkyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-substituted acetic acids are prepared by reacting a 2,6-dialkylphenol with a haloform, a ketone and an alkali metal hydroxide. These 3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-substituted acetic acids are also useful as stabilizers and in the preparation of derivatives thereof such as esters and the like. |
