Description

Bisphenol A monobenzyl ether is a phosphor-containing compound that is used in the production of polycarbonate plastics. It is also used as a raw material for the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as esters. When heated above its melting point, bisphenol A monobenzyl ether undergoes esterification to produce the corresponding phenolic acid ester. This process can be carried out under mild conditions and without any catalyst, making it an attractive synthetic method for producing phenolic acid esters. Bisphenol A monobenzyl ether has heat stability and linearity, which makes it suitable for use in thermoplastic applications.
