In general, any of the alkali metal hydrides or alkaline earth metal hydrides may be used in the prsc-tice of the present process. These include sodium 10 hydride, potassium hydride, lithium hydrlde, magnesium hydride, calcium hydride, and the like. Sodium hydride is preferred.
The process of the invention is carried out by reacting the 2,6-dihydrocarbyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol or 15 the 2,6-dihydrocarbyl-4-halomethylphenol starting material with at least 1 molsr equivalent of malonic acid ester reactant although an exces3 of ester reactant can be used. A preferred range of malonic acid ester reactant to halometbylphenol reactant or hydroxymethyl-20phenol reactant is from about 1 to 10 moles of ester permole of halomethylphenol or hydroxymethylphenol reactant.
At least 1 mole of hydride per mole of halo-methylphenol or hydroxymethylphenol reactant should be used in the proces~ of the invention, although an amount 25 of hydride up to about 50 moles of hydride per mole of '~ , ' ' " ' ,, ` ' ~.
' . .

. ;:,., ~ .. ;. . ' , g the substituted methylphenol reactant can be used, if desired.
The reaction is advantageously conducted at a temperature of from 50C. to 500C. While lower 5 temperatures can be used, the reaction rates are generally correspondingly lower. Temperatures above 500C. can be used, but excessive decomposition of the reaction components can occur. Reflux temperature at atmospheric pressure is effective and preferred.
Typically, the reaction can be cooducted at atmospberic pressure. However, higher pressures up to about 1000 psig may be used, if desired.
i The use of a solvent for the reaction mixture is not generally required, especially if ~n excess of 15 malonic acid ester reactant is used. However, if desired, a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions, i.e., those solvents which do not enter into the reaction, may be added to the reaction vessel.
Useful solvents comprise aprotic solvents which include 20 ethers ~uch as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, l-ethoxy-hexane, tetrahydrouran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,3-dioxolane, diglyme, 1,2-diethoxyethane, and tertiary amines such as pyridine, N-ethylpiperidine, triethylamine, tributyl-amine, N,N-diphenyl-N-methylamine, N,N-dimethylalanine, 25 etc. Especially useful solvents are dipolar aprotic solvents such aa dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylforma-, ' i i:

' - , ' i2~3Z34 - ld -mide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfone, tetra-methylene sùlfone, N-methy~lpyrrolidinone, acetonitrile and like materials. Other solvents which are inert under the reaction conditions may be used: for example, 5 low boiling hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, examples of which are benzene, tolueoe, tetrachloro-ethane, the chlorinated benzenes, the chlorinated toluenes, etc., and lower alkanols having up to about 6 carbon atoms. These include methanol, ethanol, n-pro-10 panol, igopropyl alcohol, n-butanol, sec-butyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, n-pentanol, isopentyl alcohol, n-hexanol and isohexyl alcohol.
The amount of solvent can be expressed as a volume ratio of ~olvent to halomethylphenol reactant or 15 hydroxymethylphenol r3actant. Suitable volume ratios of solvent to halomethylphenol reactsnt or hydroxy-methylphenol reactant can be from 0/1 to 500/1 and preferably from 1/1 to 300/1.
The mode of addition in the process i9 not par-20 ticularly critical. Accordingly, it i9 convenient toadd the halomethylphenol reactant or the hydroxymethyl-phenol reactant to a mixture of the other materials, add 1`
the malonic acid ester compound to a mixture of the other material~, add the reactants to a mixture of the 25 substituted methylphenol and solvent, introduce all :

~Z~ 34 ingredients simultaneously into the reaction zone, or the like.
The process should be carried out for the time sufficient to convert substantially all of the halo-methylphenol reactant or the hydroxymethylphenol to the corresponding benzylated malonic acid ester. The length of time for optimum yield will depend primarily upon the reaction temperature and the particular solvent, if any, used in the reaction. In general, excellent yields of the benzylated malonic acid ester are obtained in from about two to twenty-four hours.
Although not required, the process can be con-ducted irl a substantially anhydrou~ reaction system, and accordingly, the components of the reaction system are brought together and maintained under a substantially dry, inert atmosphere. hy "substantially anbydrous" is meant a reaction system wherein the total amount of water present is no more than about 5 percent by weight, based on the reaction mixture. When the amount of water in the system exceeds this, both reaction rate and yield oE product decrea~e.
The process may readily be conducted in a batch-wise, semi-batch or continuous manner and in conven-tional equipment.
Under the reaction conditions, elimination of the hydroxyl group or hnlide occurs yieldlng a quinone . .

The benzylated malonic acid ester product is easily separated from the reaction mixture by such means as distillation, extraction, crystallization and other methods obvious to tbose skilled in the chemical pro-10 cessing art.
The benzylated malonic acid ester products pre-pared by the process of this invention have antioxidant properties and are capable of stabilizing polymers nor-mally subject to oxidative degradation when incorporated into the polymers using conventional techniques such as by addition to polymer lattices; or by addition to solid polymers on a mill or in a Banbury. Further, the novel compounds of this invention are effective antioxidants in both unleaded and leaded gasolines made from a wide 20 variety of base stocks and for engine and industrial oils which are derived from crude petroleum or produced synthetically.
The practice of this invention will be still further apparent by the following illustrative examples.
