Preparation

This compound is commercially available. It may be prepared by the Duff reaction, from 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and hexamethylenetetramine:[1]

Reactions

Condensation of this aldehyde with various diamines gives various salen ligands, which are popular for catalysis. For example, the enantiopure ligand for Jacobsen's catalyst may be prepared from the appropriate 1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The catalyst is obtained by further reaction with manganese(II) acetate and atmospheric oxygen in the presence of a chloride source.[1]

gollark: No, I mean presumably it would be easier for you to not pray than to pray, and it is not as if an omnipotent god requires it.
gollark: They could just not have you pray in the first place.
gollark: Wait, buried in space?
gollark: Well, if you move to a higher orbit, the issue is resolved because the angle between the Mecca and wherever you end up pointing becomes smaller than the error of pointing at things in the first place.
gollark: They also have to pray 5 times every 90 minutes if in low Earth orbit.
