4,4′-Biphenol is an organic compound which is a phenolic derivative of biphenyl. It is a colorless solid.
4,4′-Biphenol is prepared by dealkylation of the tetra-t-butyl derivative, generated by the oxidative coupling of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. The oxidative coupling of phenol itself typically gives a mixture of isomers.[2] For example, VCl4 reacts with phenols give 4,4′-, 2,4′-, and 2,2′-biphenols:[3]
- 2 C6H5OH + 2 VCl4 → HOC6H4–C6H4OH + 2 VCl3 + 2 HCl
An earlier process using oxygen and copper salts to enable the oxidative coupling was reported [4]
Safety[edit]
4,4'-Biphenol had actually been elucidated to have an estrogenic SAR.[5]
