CAS 1965-09-9: 4,4′-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether
Description:4,4′-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether, also known as bisphenol F, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of two phenolic hydroxyl groups attached to a diphenyl ether backbone. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits strong antioxidant properties and is often used in the synthesis of polymers and resins, particularly in the production of epoxy resins and phenolic resins, which are valued for their thermal stability and mechanical strength. Additionally, 4,4′-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether can act as a precursor for various chemical reactions, including those leading to flame retardants and other specialty chemicals. Its applications extend to the electronics industry, coatings, and adhesives. However, like many phenolic compounds, it may pose environmental and health concerns, necessitating careful handling and regulatory compliance in its use and disposal.
