Process for the hydrogenation of bis-phenols

Esters of arylacetic acids, more particularly lower alcohol esters of arylacetic acids, including those substituted on the methylene group, are prepared by rearrangement of the corresponding alpha-halo-alkylarylketones with Ag compounds in lower alcohols and in an acid medium. From the alkyl esters so prepared, their respective free acids can be obtained, if desired, by various means such as hydrolysis or the shift with mineral acids of the alkaline salts prepared by reaction with alkali, etc.
