The authors were Xiong, Xiaodong;Zheng, Tianyu;Wang, Xinyan;Tse, Ying-Lung Steve;Yeung, Ying-Yeung, and the article was included in《Chem》. The author mentioned the following in the article:
A facile strategy to prepare potent chiral bisphenols (BPOLs) through the desymmetrizing asym. ortho-halogenation was described. Both theor. and exptl. studies were conducted in order to shed light on the mechanistic picture. The halogen handles in the BPOL products were manipulated to yield unsym. chiral BPOL ligands, which were potential privileged catalyst scaffolds and was applied in other asym. catalytic reactions.4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 599-64-4) were involved in the experimental procedure.
4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol(cas:599-64-4) is a natural product found in Panax ginseng.Electric Literature of C15H16O 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol is a useful reagent for preparing and characterizing aromatic polyphosphonates as high refractive index polymers.
