Yield: 96.6%
Reaction Conditions:
with LiAlH4 in tetrahydrofuran;ethanol;acetone
Steps:
2.a a)
a) Preparation of 4,4'-bis (Hydroxy-Methyl) Biphenyl 789 mg (20.8 mmoles) of LiAlH4 in 150 ml of anhydrous THF (tetrahydrofuran) are placed in a 2-liter flask which has a mechanical agitator, cooler, filler funnel and heating bath. A solution, heated to 50° C., of 7.5 g (27.7 mmoles) of 4,4'-bis (methoxycarbonyl)biphenyl in 500 ml of anhydrous THF is added dropwise, over a period of 1 hour, to the mixture, heated in an inert atmosphere to 50° C. under agitation. After a further 30 minutes of agitation in a heating bath, the mixture is cooled to ambient temperature and the excess LiAlH4 is destroyed by the careful addition of 15 ml of a THF/H2 O (80:20) mixture. The reaction mixture is filtered on Septum G2, washing the precipitate with anydrous ethanol (3*100 ml). The combined filtrate and washings are evaporated to dryness under vacuum with the heating bath at 40° C. The residue is then redissolved with 100 ml of hot acetone (50° C.), eliminating the insoluble residue by filtration, dried on anhydrous Na2 SO4 and evaporated to dryness. 5.74 g of 4,4'-bis (hydroxymethyl) biphenyl are obtained with a molar yield of 96.6%. Analysis: Melting Point: 195.8°-196° C. 1 H-NMR (DMSOD6): δ4.53 (d, 4H, CH2); 5.20 (t, 2H, OH); 7.35-7.65 (8H, aromatic) MS-EI: (M+)214; m/e 196, 183, 167, 165, 155, 152, 77.
