Processes for the preparation of bisphenols from phenols and substituted vicinal glycols, or unsaturated alcohols or substituted dienes resulting in bisphenols represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from monovalent hydrocarbon and monovalent hydrocarbonoxy radicals of one to four carbon atoms, or from halogen radicals; R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 is each a lower alkyl radical, preferably of one to four carbon atoms, aryl radicals, alkaryl radicals, aralkyl radicals, and cycloalkyl radicals, and is the same or different; R.sup.5 may also be hydrogen. n and n.sup.1 are independently selected from whole numbers having a value of from 0 to 4 inclusive.

酚由通式表示:##STR1##其中:R.sup.1和R.sup.2分别选自一至四个碳原子的一价碳氢基和一价碳氢氧基基团,或卤素基团;R.sup.3、R.sup.4和R.sup.5分别是较低的烷基基团,优选为一至四个碳原子的烷基基团,芳基基团,烷芳基团,芳烷基团和环烷基团,并且相同或不同;R.sup.5也可以是氢。n和n.sup.1分别选自0至4的整数值。
