Abstract
4,4'-biphenol and tert-alkyl substituted alkyl benzene derivatives are produced by hydrogenating a tetraalkyl diphenoquinone in an alkyl benzene solvent solution under relatively mild conditions in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, removing said catalyst from the resultant tetraalkyl biphenol and thereafter heating said alkyl benzene solvent solution in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to form relatively pure biphenol in high yields and a para substituted alkyl benzene derivative.
