Abstract
Abstract An unexpected marked increase in the solubility of a gemdiphenylol alkane at a temperature above near the atmospheric boiling point of a solvent selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, ethylene dichloride, and trichloroethylene, enables a process for purifying the gemdiphenylol alkane by dissolving it in the solvent at a temperature above the atmospheric boiling point and at a pressure above the vapor pressure of the resultant material, cooling the resultant material, and recovering the resulting crystals of gemdiphenylol alkane therefrom.
