Phenol → Phenol, 4-[1-(4-aminophenyl)-1-methylethyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aniline (18.6 g) and 34.4 g of the same mixture of alkenylphenols and phenol as used in Example 7 were stirred at 150° C. (2 moles of aniline per mole of the p-isopropenyl phenol monomeric unit). Then, 0.0065 g of aniline hydrochloride (0.0005 mole of catalyst per mole of the p-isopropenyl phenol monomeric unit) was added as a catalyst, and the reaction was performed for 3 hours. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography. It was found that 19.7 g (yield 87%) of 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4'-aminophenyl)-propane and 0.24 g of bisphenol A were formed.
