Abstract:
A phenolic compound bearing at least two functional groups, at least one of which is a phenolic moiety, of the formula I: ##STR36##wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently at each occurrence represent alkyl or aralkyl; the free valence bond linking the aryl ring to the alpha-carbon atom independently at each occurrence is either ortho or para to the phenolic group, or a mixture of ortho and para isomers; R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, and R.sup.10 independently at each occurrence represent hydrogen, alkyl or aralkyl; R.sup.11 independently at each occurrence represents alkyl or halogen; n independently at each occurrence is 0-3; x, y, and z independently at each occurrence are 0-4, wherein the sum of each x+y+z grouping is at least 1;and either k is one and G represents CH.sub.2 OH, CHO, CO.sub.2 H, COCl, CO.sub.2 R.sup.12, CO.sub.2 M or ##STR37##wherein R.sup.12 is alkyl, aralkyl, alkaryl, or aryl; M is a cation; R.sup.11 independently at each occurrence represents alkyl or halogen; n independently at each occurrence is 0-3; and the free valence bond in formula II is either ortho or para to the phenolic group, or a mixture of ortho and para isomers;or k is two and G represents a linking moiety, wherein the linking moiety is either a carbonate linkage as in formula III: ##STR38##a mono-ether linkage CH.sub.2 ].sub.2 O as in formula IV: ##STR39##a di-ether linkage CH.sub.2 O].sub.2 R.sup.13 as in formula V: ##STR40##a mono-ester linkage (C.dbd.O)OCH.sub.2 as in formula VI: ##STR41##a di-ester linkage (C.dbd.O)O].sub.2 R.sup.14 as in formula VII: ##STR42##or a di-ester linkage CH.sub.2 O(C.dbd.O)].sub.2 R.sup.15 as in formula VIII: ##STR43##wherein R.sup.13, R.sup.14, and R.sup.15 are alkyl, aralkyl, alkaryl, or aryl.
