When heated at 270-300 deg C, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol and its 4-alkyl, 4-(chloroalkyl), 4-(hydroxyalkyl), and 4-(methoxycarbonyl) derivatives give the corresponding unsubstituted and 4-substituted 2-tert-butylphenols.Removal of the two tert-butyl groups from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol is observed at temperatures above 300 deg C.
