Biphenyl is a solid at room temperature, with a melting point of 69.2 °C (156.6 °F). In the gas phase the molecule exists in two enantiomorphic twisted forms with an angle between the planes of the two rings of 44.4°. In the room-temperature solid, biphenyl is crystalline with space group P2 1 /c, which does not allow for chiral crystals.
A polymer is a substance composed of macromolecules. The latter usually have a range of molar masses (unit g mol −1), the distributions of which are indicated by dispersity (Đ). It is defined as the ratio of the mass-average molar mass (M m) to the number-average molar mass (M n) i.e. Đ = M m /M n. [4]
4,4′-Bipyridine (abbreviated to 4,4′-bipy or 4,4′-bpy) is an organic compound with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2. It is one of several isomers of bipyridine. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. is mainly used as a precursor to N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium [(C 5 H 4 NCH 3) 2] 2+, known as paraquat.
Molar mass: 170.211 g·mol −1 ... 4-Phenylphenol, also known as biphenyl-4-ol and 4-hydroxybiphenyl is an organic compound. It is a phenol analog of biphenyl.
Biphenylene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon, composed of two benzene rings joined by two bridging bonds (as opposed to a normal ring fusion), thus forming a 6-4-6 arene system. The resulting planar structure [ 4 ] was one of the first π-electronic hydrocarbon systems discovered to show evidence of antiaromaticity .
4-Methyl-2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pent-1-ene (MBP) is a metabolite of bisphenol A (BPA). [1] MBP has potent estrogenic activity in vitro and in vivo , up to thousandfold stronger than BPA. [ 2 ] It may also play a role in neuronal cell apoptosis [ 3 ] and may increase risk for several forms of cancer.
The industrial synthesis of 4,4′-biphenol was developed by Allan Hay in the 1960s. [2] [3] As the direct oxidative coupling of phenol gives a mixture of isomers, [4] [5] 4,4′-biphenol is instead prepared from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, where para-coupling is the only possibility. [3]
Different ways of representing a methyl group (highlighted in blue) In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me.
