Synthesis and Characterization of Fluorinated Bisphenols and Tetraphenols via a Simple One-Pot Reaction

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Fluorinated bisphenols and tetraphenols have been prepared by the condensation reaction of trifluoromethyl activated ketones with simple bisphenols (including catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone) catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, in good yields.
