— –Irradiation of hexachlorophene in absolute ethanol yields a series of dechlorinated bisphenols resulting from loss of chlorine at the ortho and para positions relative to the hydroxy groups. The two primary photoproducts. 2.2′‐dihydroxy‐3,3′, 5,6,6′‐pentachlorodiphenylmethane and 2,2′‐dihydroxy‐3,5,5′, 6,6′‐pentachlorodiphenylmethane were identified by independent syntheses.
