A novel solid acid for synthesis of bisphenol A

  • Published:
Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

A novel solid acid was prepared from boric, phosphorous and sulfuric acid by a simple method, and characterized by FT-IR, XRD and TG. Surprisingly, the prepared solid acid is an effective catalyst for the synthesis of bisphenol A from condensation of phenol with acetone. The high conversion of acetone (91.8%) and selectivity of bisphenol A (93.4%) were achieved in the presence of the novel catalyst.
