Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.4 g (0.1 mole) of p-isopropenyl phenol monomer and 18.6 g (0.2 mole) of aniline was stirred at 150° C. To the mixture was added 0.50 g of a solution obtained by adding 1.28 g of 35% hydrochloric acid to 93 g of aniline and stirring the mixture well (to be referred to as a catalyst solution) (0.0018 mole of catalyst per mole of p-isopropenyl phenol), and the reaction was carried out for 3 hours. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixture showed that 21.3 g (yield 94%) of 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4'-aminophenyl)-propane of the formula ##STR11## was formed.
