| Use | as an intermediate in organic synthesis An intermediate in organic synthesis. For the production of soluble polybenzenes. |
| production method | obtained by hydrolysis of p-phenylene chloride. Add p-phenylene dimethyl chloride, sodium carbonate and water into the reactor, use industrial alcohol as emulsifier, raise the temperature to below 90 ℃, stir and react for 3H to obtain the finished product. The yield was more than 85%. |
