Reaction Steps

The epoxide compounds may also be derived from mononuclear phenols, for example from resorcinol or hydroquinone; or they are based on polynuclear phenols, for example on bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5dibromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane or 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, or on condensates of phenols with formaldehyde, such as phenol novolaks, which condensates are obtained under acidic conditions.
