The solution was stirred at this temperature for one hour and water was then added. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed to give a colourless product which crystallised from hexane to give colourless prisms of 2,2'-isopropylidene bis(4-fluorophenol) (0.375 g); m.p. 155° C.
