Formylation of bisphenol-A (1a), with subsequent methylation, oxidation and esterification, gave 2,2-bis-(4-methoxy-3-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-propane (11b). It was transformed into 2,2-bis-[4-methoxy-3-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-phenyl]-propane (12b) by the addition of methylmagnesium iodide. The carbinol was condensed with phenol in the presence of dry hydrogen chloride and the title compound was isolated as its tetramethyl ether (4b). Its structure of 2,2-bis-[4-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxycumyl)-phenyl]-propane (4a) was confirmed by (13)C-NMR spectra. In PhOH/HCL medium tetrakisphenol (4a) decomposed and isomerized to bisphenol-A (1a).
