General description

Biphenyl-4-methanol acts as monofunctional alcohol initiator during the ring-opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) catalyzed by CH3SO3H and copolymerisation of ε-caprolactone and TMC.

Application

Biphenyl-4-methanol was used as reagent for the rapid quantitative determination of lithium alkyls.
