Reactivity at oxidation in basic water-ethanol solutions of the fallowing phenols: 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, and (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)methyl ether was studied as affected by α-located oxygen-containing functional groups and the base nature. It is shown that the substrate reactivity drops in the order: alcohol ≥ ether > aldehyde. In the presence of NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 the alcohol and the ether are similar in efficiency, while in aqueous ammonia the alcohol reactivity is much higher than that of ether. Aldehyde oxidizes in ammoniak with the tenfold faster than in solutions of NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3.
