2,2'-Biphenol

2,2'-Biphenol is an organic compound with the formula (C6H4OH)2. It is one of three symmetrical isomers of biphenol. A white solid, it is a precursor to diphosphite ligands that are used to support industrial hydroformylation catalysis.[1][2]

BiPhePhos is representative diphosphite ligand derived from 2,2'-biphenol.

Synthesis

Ring-opening of Dibenzofuran affords 2,2'-biphenol. Alternatively, it can be produced from 2,4-ditert-butylphenol in two steps. The first step entails oxidative coupling to give the 2,2'-biphenol with four tert-Bu substituents. This species then undergoes debutylation.[3]
