Question: Reaction of p-cresol with two equivalents of 2-methylprop-1-ene affords BHT, a preservative with molecular formula . BHT gives the following NMR spectral data: 1.4 (singlet, 18 H), 2.27 (singlet, 3 H), 5.0 (singlet, 1 H), and 7.0 (singlet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of BHT? Draw a stepwise mechanism illustrating how it is formed

a
b
c
