Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00264a003

Surface-immobilized 1,3-diphenylpropane (<*>Ph(CH2)3Ph, or <*>DPP) has been prepared by the condensation of p-(3-phenylpropyl)phenol with the surface hydroxyl groups of an amorphous, fumed silica.Thermolysis studies of the covalently attached <*>DPP have
