4,4'-Biphenol is prepared by dealkylation of the tetra t-butyl derivative, generated by the oxidative coupling of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. The oxidative coupling of phenol itself typically gives a mixture of isomers.[2] For example, VCl4 reacts with phenols give 4,4'-, 2,4'-, and 2,2'-biphenols:[3]

2 C6H5OH + 2 VCl4 → HOC6H4–C6H4OH + 2 VCl3 + 2 HCl

An earlier process using oxygen and copper salts to enable the oxidative coupling was reported [4]

Safety

Vanadium(IV) chloride is estrogenic[5] and cytotoxic.[6]
