A New Reaction of Bisphenol A and Preparation of Polysubstituted 9,9-Dimethylxanthenes
摘要:
A new transformation of bisphenol A (1) to polymethylated 9,9-dimethylxanthenes 2-5 in the presence of an exogenous phenol is described. The reaction proceeds with concurrent liberation of phenol, is catalyzed by strong acid, and takes place at synthetically useful rates at temperatures above 100 degrees C. Materials chemically related to bisphenol A polycarbonate 10, chroman fl, and tars generated during the manufacture of 1, behave similarly. The product xanthenes are useful as precursors to novel xanthene polyesters such as 33 having high glass transition temperatures relative to analogous materials based on 12 or 13. Catalytic oxidation of xanthenes 2-4 affords highly insoluble diacids that are esterified to the esters 6-8. A mechanistic framework accounting for the appearance of chroman 23 and spiroketal 24 as intermediates is given. Overall, the reaction has the characteristics of a complex series of equilibria in which xanthenes such as 2 are strongly favored.

Organic values are salvaged from scrap polycarbonate by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst and a C1-4 alkyl phenol such as m- or p-cresol. Among the compounds which can be salvaged are polyalkylated xanthenes, phenol and diaryl carbonate.
The present application includes novel containing xanthene and spiro dixanthene ring structures and alkylated variants thereof. These compounds are useful as host materials with high triplet energies for phosphorescent electroluminescent devices.
The title compound, C23H28O2, was obtained from the reaction of acetone with meta-cresol. The molecular structure consists of two identical subunits which are nearly perpendicular to each other. The oxygen-containing rings are not planar and the molecule is chiral. The crystal structure consists of chains of molecules of the same chirality arranged along the [010] axis.
