Abstract

Process for synthesizing 4,4' bisphenol sulfone involving reacting phenol and sulfuric acid in an inert reaction solvent, and maintaining the reaction solvent at temperatures of about 160 to 200.degree. C. and at a predetermined level sufficient to maintain a saturated 4,4' isomer solution and an unsaturated 2,4' isomer solution, thereby selectively yielding 4,4' bisphenol sulfone with minimal amounts of 2,4' isomer by-product.
