- radicals R 1, R 2 and R 3 independently of one another are hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl having 1 to 10 C atoms, in the presence of an oxidizing agent in a reactor, characterized in that
- the reactor does not contain stationary internals acting as baffles, b) a maximum of 0.6 moles of oxidizing agent are used per mole of monophenol, and c) the oxidizing agent is either continuously or discontinuously in a plurality of portions over a period of 10 minutes to 24 hours , is added, wherein the per unit time metered amount of oxidant is not constant over the entire period, but is varied.
- the invention relates to the biphenols obtainable by the process, as well as their use for the preparation of phosphorus-containing chelating ligands.
- Unsubstituted and substituted biphenols can be used in a variety of ways, for example as intermediates in chemical syntheses or as monomers for polymer production.
- Biphenols are also used for the preparation of catalyst systems for the hydrazination of pentenenitriles to adiponitrile: the catalyst system usually contains complex compounds of nickel (O) and phosphorus-containing chelate ligands, and the biphenols are the starting material in the preparation of these chelate ligands, see, for example, US Pat. PS 5 981 772.
- the said hydrocyanation is carried out industrially and requires considerable amounts of catalyst, which is why the biphenols are produced in large-scale processes.
- the biphenols are usually prepared by oxidative coupling of corresponding monophenols, the yield of these syntheses being in need of improvement.
- WO-A 03/045883 describes the preparation of certain substituted biphenols with a copper-containing catalyst.

- the oxidizing agent is added either at once to the start of the reaction or in Example 1 uniformly within 4 hours.
- a process for the preparation of biphenols from monophenols should be provided, which can also be carried out without problems on an industrial scale. In particular, no deposits or sticky deposits should form on the reactor or its stirring elements. The reactor should rarely be shut down for cleaning.
- the desired biphenol should be obtained in high purity, and in a simple manner, e.g. be separated by filtration from the reaction mixture. Finally, less undesirable oligomeric phenols or other by-products should be formed.
- Suitable monophenols are those of the general formula II

- about 1 mol of persulfate or peroxide per 1 mol of 2,4-dimehtylphenol is used, that is to say a far more than stoichiometric amount of oxidizing agent.
- a significantly lower, preferably approximately stoichiometric amount of oxidizing agent is used, which gives significantly better results.

- Suitable are, for example, stirred tanks, tower reactors, loop reactors and tube reactors or tube bundle reactors, which can be operated individually or as a cascade.
- the reactor is a stirred tank.
- the reactor contains no internals acting as baffles, in particular no stationary or movable baffles, no heat exchangers acting as baffles, immersed in the reaction mixture, or similar components.
- a stirrer optionally used for better mixing of the reactor contents does not fall under the "baffles acting as baffles", i.e. according to the invention a stirrer can be used, as is the case with the stirred tank reactor.
- Suitable stirrers for the stirred tank reactor are e.g. Disc, impeller, crossbar, lattice, blade, bevel, anchor, paddle, propeller, MIG, Inter-MIG or helical stirrer or other common types.

- This time period is preferably 30 minutes to 12 hours, in particular 2 to 10 hours.
- the time is u.a. according to the amounts of starting materials used, the type and amount of solvent or suspending agent used, reaction temperature and pressure, and the desired reaction time.

For example, if one doses along a step function and a total addition time of 8 hours, e.g. Add the oxidizing agent at 2 kg / h in the first 2 hours, then add it at 0.5 kg / h for 4 hours and finally add it at 1.5 kg / h in the last 2 hours.
- the oxidizer may be added continuously, then no oxidizer added for 2 hours, and again continuously oxidized in the last 3 hours, or 2 portions in the last 3 hours discontinuously add.

- the biphenol can be precipitated by cooling and separated from the resulting suspension by filtration or other solid-liquid separation processes.
- the process of the invention is characterized in that in many cases, after a single crystallization and simple filtration, a biphenol of high purity is obtained. Multiple crystallization for the separation of by-products or complicated separation processes are not required.
- the separated biphenol may be washed for further purification, e.g. be freed of any impurities with the said extractants, or otherwise, and finally dried.
- the inventive method avoids the mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
- the deposition of sticky reaction products on the stirrer and in the reactor is substantially reduced, and the reactor rarely needs to be shut down for cleaning.

- Example 1 was carried out on the basis of Example 1 in column 2, lines 32-47 of US Pat. No. 6,077,979.
- Example 1 was transferred from the 5 I laboratory flask used there to the 2m 3 stirred tank; this corresponded to a scale-up factor of 1000 with respect to 2,4-dimethylphenol.
- the procedure was as described in Example A of this application, with the following differences:
- Example A both the yield and the product purity were significantly higher than in the non-inventive procedure of Examples B-V (oxidant excess and constant addition) or C-V (with Stromstörem). These advantages could be achieved with a significantly shorter reaction time: the after-reaction time was 1 hour in Example A instead of 72 hours in Example B-V.
- Example B-V the purity of 95% was achieved only after two recrystallizations, and the yield was low at 45%. In contrast, in Example A according to the invention, the purity without recrystallization was above 98% in 61% yield.
