Abstract

Abstract The series of dinuclear to nonanuclear all‐ ortho methylene‐bridged oligophenols 2–9 has been synthesized according to a repetitive reaction sequence involving the C‐ ortho regiospecific condensation of appropriate phenoxymagnesium precursors with salicyl alcohol or paraformaldehyde. IR, UV, mass, 1 H and 13 C NMR characteristics of these oligomers are discussed. X‐ray crystal structures of 2, 3, and 4 are also reported.
