General description

Bisphenol A (BPA) is reported as an environmental endocrine disrupting chemical that affects reproduction in wildlife. BPA is a monomer of polycarbonate plastics and forms an important constituent of epoxy and polystyrene resins, used in the food packing industry. Effect of bisphenol A bis(chloroformate) on conversion of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes is reported.

Application

Bisphenol A bis(chloroformate) is suitable for use in the synthesis of poly(carbonates) derived from diphenols that contain Si or Ge. It may be used:
  • in the preparation of novel electro-optic (EO) polycarbonates containing two different kinds of nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores with tricyanofurane (TCF) electron acceptor
  • in the preparation of novel fluorine-containing poly(carbonate-block-siloxanes)
  • as coupling reagent in the synthesis of block-copolymers containing poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) and polycarbonate of bisphenol A (PC) segments
