Abstract
Described is a new synthetic route to bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-t-butylphenyl)methanone and its derivatives. The combined esterification/photo-Fries rearrangement approach enables a modular preparation of keto-bridged polyphenols. This protecting group-free process is highly atom- and step-economic, and a scalable production was easily achieved in the continuous-flow mode.
