Three a, a, w, w-tetraaryl a, w-diols 10 were synthesized via Grignard reactions of p-tert- butylbromobenzene with 1.10-bis@-carbethoxyphenoxy) decane, dimethyl terephthalate, and dimethyl adipate (8). The diols 10 were converted to l, lO-bis@-lbis@'-tert- butylphenyl)(p”-hydroxyphenyl)-methyllphenoxy} decane (1 la), 1, 4-bislbis@-tert- butylphenylX4 '-amino-~,~-dimethylphenyl~ methyll-benzene (llb), and 1, 1, 6, 6-tetrakis (p ...
