The diarylation reaction is especicdly common with phenols (the diaryl product here is called a bisphenol). The reaction is normally carried out in alkaline solution on the phenolate ion. The hydroxymethylation of phenols with formaldehyde is called the Lederer-Manasse reaction. This reaction must be carefully controlled, since it is possible for the para and both ortho positions to be substituted and for each of...

Condensations with carbonyl compounds phenol-formaldehyde resins. Acid or base catalyzes electrophilic substitution of carbonyl compounds in ortho and para positions of phenols to form phenol alcohols (Lederer-Manasse reaction). 

Reaction vtit. Condensation of a Phenol with Formaldehyde (Lederer-Manasse). (B., 27, 2411.)—This reaction can take three different courses according to conditions. 

Reaction XXXIH. (a) Condensation of an Aromatic Carboxylic Acid with Formaldehyde. (Lederer-Manasse).—In the presence of mineral acids formaldehyde condenses to di-phenyl derivatives with aromatic acids in much the same way as with phenols (Reaction XIII.), except that in this case it is in the meta position the condensation takes place.
