Formaldehyde → 4-Chloro-2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous alkaline dispersion useful as a polyester tire cord dip, the solids of the dispersion consisting essentially of a major amount by weight of a rubbery vinyl pyridine copolymer and an minor amount by weight of a heat reactable 2,6-bis(2,4-dihydroxy phenyl methyl)-4-chlorophenol composition made by the process of first reacting about 2 mols of formaldehyde with 1 mol of parachloro phenol to provide 2,6-dimethylol-4-chlorophenol which then is reacted with about 2 mols of resorcinol to give the heat reactable bis(dihydroxy phenylmethyl) chlorophenol composition.
