Reaktionsschritte

Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)methane (303 g; 1.5 moles), butyl glycidyl ether of epoxide content 7.45 equiv./kg (402.7 g; 6 equiv.), and benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (3 g) were stirred together and heated to 100° C., at which temperature an exothermic reaction commenced. The mixture was kept at 120° C. by moderate cooling and then, when the temperature of the mixture began to fall, heating was resumed, keeping the temperature at 120° C. for 1 hour and 150° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was cooled, and its epoxide content was found to be 0.1 equiv./kg, indicating that the reaction was virtually complete.
