Abstract

A new synthesis of diosphenols (1 and 2) is described. The oxidation of 2- isopropylcyclohexanone with copper (II) chloride gave the corresponding α-diketone (8), which was then methylated to afford diosphenol (1) together with a considerable amount of isodiosphenol (2). In particular, pure 2 has been isolated and the characteristics of 2 are also presented.
