CAS 620-92-8: Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane
Description:Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, commonly known as BPA or bisphenol A, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of two 4-hydroxyphenyl groups connected by a methane bridge. This compound is a colorless solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BPA is known for its role as a key building block in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are widely used in various applications, including food containers, coatings, and dental materials. The compound exhibits phenolic properties, making it a weak acid, and it can undergo various chemical reactions, such as esterification and polymerization. However, BPA has garnered significant attention due to concerns about its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny and the development of BPA-free alternatives in consumer products. Its stability and reactivity make it a valuable compound in industrial chemistry, but its safety profile continues to be a topic of research and debate.
