  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The products formed in the oxidation of 2,6-di-&lt;i&gt;tert&lt;/i&gt;-butyl-4-methylphenol with oxygen and sodium hydroxide at about 100° are 3,5-di-&lt;i&gt;tert&lt;/i&gt;-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, trimethylacetic acid, an acidic compound C&lt;sub&gt;14&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;22&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, and probably 2,6-di-&lt;i&gt;tert&lt;/i&gt;-butylbenzoquinone (which was actually isolated in the similar oxidation of the above-named benzaldehyde), in addition to compounds previously reported. Some of the properties of C&lt;sub&gt;14&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;22&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; are given, and the oxidation of it to 2,3-di-&lt;i&gt;tert&lt;/i&gt;-butylsuccinic anhydride is described, but assignment of structure is reserved pending the completion of more experimental work.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
