Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reaction mechanism for the preparation of bisphenol A is to be drawn and the structure of bisphenol B is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Bisphenol A is a di phenolic compound.

The chemical reaction between phenol and acetone results in the formation of Bisphenol A.

The disodium salt of bisphenol A is used in the preparation of polycarbonates such as Lexan.

In acid-catalysis, the reaction occurs in the presence of an acid. Proton transfer takes place at the oxygen atom of carbonyl group and results in the formation of an electrophile which is better than the neutral carbonyl group.
