Abstract:Bisphenol A (BPA) is theoretically synthesized with 2 moles of phenol
and 1 mol of acetone. During the reaction, a stoichiometric ratio or
high acetone concentration causes the formation of by-products. This
situation has been confirmed by density functional theory (DFT)
calculations in addition to the literature information. In these
calculations, the B3LYP method and the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set were
used. DFT calculations show that by-products can be formed in the
synthesis of bisphenol a. The common method… Show more
