Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that in preparing the prepolymer used to make epoxy resins, a bisphenol reacts with epichlorohydrin in the presence of a base. The product formed when two moles of phenol react with epichlorohydrin is to be given. And the mechanism of its formation also is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In Williomson synthesis, phenoxide ions react with alkyl or aryl halides to yield ethers. The phenoxide ion can be produced by treating the phenol with a base.
To give:
The product formed and the mechanism of its formation when two moles of phenol react with epichlorohydrin.

- Epoxy adhesives are prepared in two steps. SN2 reaction of the disodium salt of bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin forms a prepolymer, which is then cured by treatment with a triamine such as H2NCH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2.
