How to prepare Sodium phenolate?

Carmel Benson  Follow


To prepare Sodium phenolate dissove phenol in minimum quantity of NAOH & remove the water under vacuum of lipolization. The water soluble salt remains behind which is sodium phenolate.

Dear Mr. Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh and Mr. Eslam Mekhemer ,
I did the experiment as your recommendation and got the salt as I need. I appreciate your helpful answers.
Best regards,

Dear all,

I want to be confident of producing the disodium salt of Bisphenol A (BPA) which is my intermediate product, however it is really hard to characterise that without isolating and separating the compound. Would you mind let me know how can I isolate my disodium salt of BPA ? I normally dissolve the BPA in an organic Solvent (Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)) and after that I add stoichiometric ratio of NaOH (in a 50% liquid (aqueous) solution) to obtain the disodium salt of BPA. Now my question is how can I measure the amount of this salt? to figure it out I found that the best way id to crystalize the product and after that characterise the product with some analytical instruments, am I right? (I appreciate if you can give me your opinion about this)
Now if the isolation is a good solution to figure out the characteristics of the Disodium salt of BPA, could you please let me know how I can do that? I read in the answers to your question that "Eslam Mekhemer" suggested to use filtration, however - due to the using the stoichiometric ratio of BPA and NaOH - there is not any two phase solution to use a filtration! I can not understand this issue, because I have a clear solution which is a mixture of BPA and NaOH in DMSO as a solvent, so how can I crystalize the disodium salt of BPA?
I much appreciate for your suggestions.Kind regardsAghil

A quantity of phenol is dissolved in sodium hydroxide and a large amount of any organic solvent, such as ethanol or methanol, is then added and the salt is separated by filtration. ( like dissolve like principle)

i want so sythesis disudium salt of bisphenol a
i will add 2.2 gr of bis phenol and 0.8 gr of NaOH in acetone
but the conversion is very low and i will get 0.8 gr after filtration
cant you help to improve sythesis it
thanks
