description

Abstract Condensation of 4,4-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-pentanol with phenol, in the presence of hydrogen chloride, gives 1,3,3-trimethyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methoxyindan and tris-(4-methoxyphenyl)-ethane instead of expected 2,2,4-tris-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylpentane (trisphenol-II). tris-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-ethane was obtained, together with bisphenol-A, by condensation of phenol with acetylacetone.
