Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (32.0 g, 0.14 mole) and vinyl ethyl ether (80.8 g, 1.12 mole) in 1,4-dioxane (130 ml), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (2.8 g) was added and reacted with stirring for 6 hours at 20°-25° C. After reaction, ethyl ether (300 ml) and H2O (100 ml) were added to a reaction mixture, stirred for 30 min. at room temperature, and allowed to stand. The organic layer was washed thrice with H2O, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and evaporated to give 50.8 g of 2,2-bis[4-(1-ethoxy-ethoxy)phenyl]propane as residual pale yellow oil.
