摘要

According to some aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of forming dimethyl 5-tert-butylisophthalate which comprise comprising converting 5-tert-butylisophthalic acid into dimethyl 5-tert-butylisophthalate in synthesis procedures that comprises methanol and a dehydrating agent as chemical reagents. In other aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of forming 5-tert-butyl-1,3-bis(1-methoxy-l-methylethyl) benzene that comprise deprotonating 5-tert-butyl-1,3-bis(1-hydroxy-l-methylethyl)benzene with a Brønsted-Lowry superbase and methylating the deprotonated 5-tert-butyl-1,3-bis(1-hydroxy-l-methylethyl)benzene to form the 5-tert-butyl-1,3-bis(1-methoxy-l-methylethyl)benzene.
