Abstract

Abstract Bromobiphenols containing at least two bromine atoms meta to the phenolic hydroxyl groups can be produced from 3,3'' ,5,5''-tetrasubstituted diphenoquinones by reacting the latter with bromine. The reaction can be controlled to produce little, if any, byproduct. The products obtained are dependent to some extent on the substituents in the four positions ortho to the hydroxyl groups. The biphenols can be used as antioxidants or as starting materials for preparation of flame-retardant polymeric compositions useful in the molding, coating and insulating arts.
