Usage

General Description

4,4'-hexylidenebisphenol, also known as Bisphenol S, is a chemical compound that is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is commonly found in food and beverage containers, dental sealants, and thermal paper receipts. Concerns have been raised about the potential health effects of 4,4'-hexylidenebisphenol, as it is considered an endocrine disruptor that may interfere with hormone function in the body. Research has linked this chemical to various health issues, including reproductive and developmental problems, cancer, and metabolic disorders. As a result, there is ongoing debate and regulation regarding its safety and use in consumer products.

Metal cation-exchanged montmorillonite (Mn+-mont)-catalysed aromatic alkylation with aldehydes and ketones

The alkylation of aromatic compounds with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of a variety of metal cation-exchanged montmorillonites (Mn+-mont; Mn+ = Zr4+, Al3+, Fe3+, Zn2+, H+, Na+) has been investigated. Al3+- and Zr4+-Monts are revealed to be effective as catalysts, while no reaction takes place with Na+-mont. Al3+-Mont-catalysed alkylation of phenol with several aldehydes produces mainly or almost solely the corresponding gem-bis(hydroxyphenyl)alkanes (bisphenols) in good yields, while that with several ketones affords selectively the corresponding alkylphenols in moderate to good yields. The alkylation always occurs at the carbonyl carbon without any skeletal rearrangement and the kind of products depends much on the steric hindrance of an electrophilic intermediary carbocation. The alkylation of anisole, veratrole and p-cresol proceeds well, while that of toluene, benzene, chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene scarcely occurs.
