Participants

Reaction Steps

1.7 Kilograms of an 8-mass % solution of p-t-butylphenol in methylene chloride were added to the resultant. Next, an alkali aqueous solution of bisphenol A (BPA) (obtained by dissolving 1.14 kg of BPA in 8.98 kg of a 6.4-mass % aqueous sodium hydroxide) was added to the resultant, and then the mixture was stirred at 240 rpm for 55 minutes.
