4,4'-Dihydroxybiphenyl → HCID 22168361, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.0 g of 8-bromooctyl allyl ether, 11.0 g of biphenyl-4,4'-diol, and 8.0 g of potassium hydroxide was refluxed in methanol for 20 hours. After distilling methanol out under reduced pressure, acetone was added to the resulting solution, and hydrochloric acid was then added dropwise to the solution. After removing the insoluble matters away by filtration, the solvent was distilled out under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 7.2 g of the objective phenol compound. (Yield: 72%).
