Production

4-Phenylphenol can be obtained from the Suzuki coupling of phenylboronic acid with 4-iodophenol in the presence of 10% palladium on carbon and potassium carbonate.^[1][2]

Properties

4-Phenylphenol is a flammable, difficult to ignite, white, scaly solid with a phenol-like odor that is very slightly soluble in water.^[3]
