Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily obtain the title compound useful as an intermediate for polymer raw material, antioxidant, etc., without causing problem for working environment by oxidizing 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl) propane in the presence of a solvent using a hypohalogenous acid. CONSTITUTION:2,2-Bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl) propane used as a raw material is oxidized using a hypophalogenous acid or salt thereof or halogen as an oxidizing agent in the presence of a solvent such as methanol or acetic acid to provide the aimed compound. An amount of the oxidizing agent used is preferably about 2-3 times by mol based on the above-mentioned raw material. When salts of hypohalogenous acid are used as the oxidizing agent, yield and purity are improved by using an organic acid such as acetic acid at an amount >=2 times by equivalent based on the raw material. Furthermore, the oxidation reaction is carried out by dissolving or suspending the above-mentioned raw material compound in a solvent and then adding the oxidizing agent thereto at 0 deg.C to boiling point of the solvent, preferably at 10-40 deg.C while stirring.
