Abstract

The observation of an unusual dimerization of phenols and naphthols using a sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in an aqueous solution is reported. NaOCl is an environmentally friendly and less expensive reagent than previously used reagents for dimerization. The yield of the dimer is moderate to high at ambient temperature.
