In organic chemistry, a biphenol refers to compounds with the formula 2. Such compounds formally result from the coupling of two phenols.
Three symmetrical isomers of biphenol exist:
- 2,2'-Biphenol m.p. 109 °C
- 3,3'-Biphenol m.p. 124.8 °C
- 4,4'-Biphenol m.p. 283 °C
- 2,3'-Biphenol
- 2,4'-Biphenol m.p. 162-163 °C
- 3,4'-Biphenol m.p. 190 °C
