Abstract
Reduction of aldehyde group in 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde leads to methoxymethyl (NaBH4, MeOH) or methyl (Zn, MeOH) analogues, which were further oxidized into the corresponding o-benzoquinones. Their photostability in benzene increases substantially on replacement of the 6-positioned Me substituent with the CH2OMe group.
