In a three-necked flask 50 grams of 2,2′,6,6′-tetra-t-butyl-4,4′-biphenol (I) and 0.25 gm of methanesulfonic acid were mixed with a mixture of 80 ml Isopar-G (hydrocarbons C10-C1) and 20 ml of toluene. After 2 hours at 150° C., 26 grams of isobutylene is collected in a dry ice trap and the reaction cooled to room temperature and was filtered. The biphenol was dried at 130° C., giving 22.5 gram of 4,4′-biphenol (99% yield) with purity >99% were collected.
