Bisphenol A (BPA), also known as diphenylolpropane or (4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, forms prismatic crystals in dilute ethanol and needle-like crystals in water. It is combustible and has a faint phenolic odor. Its melting point is 157.2°C, flash point is 79.4°C, and boiling point of bisphenol a is 250.0°C (at 1.733 kPa). BPA is soluble in ethanol, acetone, acetic acid, ether, benzene, and dilute alkalis but almost insoluble in water. With a molecular weight of 228.29, it is a derivative of acetone and phenol and serves as an important raw material in organic chemical industry.
