4-tert-butyl-2-(thiomorpholin-4-ylmethyl)phenol (2) and 4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis(thiomorpholin-4-ylmethyl)phenol (3) were prepared from 4-tert-butylphenol (1) and thiomorpholine and formaldehyde (37%) in methanol as solvent . A solution of methanol (50 mL) and 4-tert-butylphenol (1.49 g, 9.92 mmol) 1 was prepared and and heated at 40 °C for 15 minutes, after that a solution of thiomorpholine (2.0 g, 20.7mmol) and formaldehyde (1.50 mL, 20.15 mmol) in methanol were added. When the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 24 hrs. The solvent was eliminated using rotavapor and reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Chromatography on silica gel (30/70 EtOAc/n-hexane) afforded two crystalline products 2 and 3 (5% and 35 % yield).
