The oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (DTBP) with tert-butylhydroperoxide (ButOOH) catalyzed by cobalt(II) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate ([CoPcTS]4−) in a 4:1 methanol–water mixture gave predominantly the coupled products 3,3′,5,5′-tetra-tert-butyl-4,4′-diphenoquinone (DPQ) and 4,4′-dihydroxy-3,3′,5,5′-tetra-tert-butylbiphenyl (H2DPQ) when the oxidant/substrate ratio was less than 10. The conversion of DTBP was 70% in 3 h and 86% in 8 h when the amounts of DTBP, ButOOH, and [CoPcTS]4− in millimoles were 0.300, 1.52, and 3.0 × 10−3, respectively. The yield of DPQ was 56% in 3 h and 73% in 8 h whereas that of H2DPQ was about 14% in 3 and 8 h. H2DPQ is not commonly encountered the oxidation product of DTBP and is considered unstable. When the oxidant/substrate ratio was over 10, 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone was also formed. The degradation of [CoPcTS]4− by ButOOH also occurred during the oxidation of DTBP. About three-fourths of the catalyst was degraded in the first hour and about 2% of the catalyst remained after 8 h.
