Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the titled compound useful as a polymer additive such as a modifier for polycarbonate, etc., easily under normal pressure in high yield, by condensing phenol with levulinic acid in a mineral acid in the presence of an alkyl mercaptan as a catalyst. CONSTITUTION:The objective 4,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic acid is produced by condensing phenol with levulinic acid preferably at a stoichiometric ratio in a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid of 34-50% concentration in the presence of a catalyst consisting of an alkyl mercaptan of formula RSH (R is 5-20C alkyl) at 25-80 deg.C for 15-20hr under normal pressure. The alkyl mercaptan is especially preferably n-octyl mercaptan, sec-octyl mercaptan, n-hexyl mercaptan, etc. to attain the desirable results. The amount of the alkyl mercaptan is preferably 0.1-10mol% based on the levulinic acid.
