Procedure

An 18.5 g (0.082 mole) sample of unpurified 1,1-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)cyclopropane was combined with 44.0 g (0.32 mole) of potassium carbonate, 2.0 g (0.012 mole) of potassium iodide, 8.0 ml of dichloroacetic acid, and 400 ml of isopropyl alcohol. The mixture was heated at reflux with stirring for 24 hours. Another 8.0 ml of dichloroacetic acid was added and the mixture heated at reflux with stirring for another 48 hours. The volatiles were then removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The solid that remained was dissolved in 300 ml of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 500 ml of ether, acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (carefully due to foaming), and then extracted with three 500 ml portions of ether. The latter ether extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound in crude form as a solid.
