4-Isopropenylphenol is an organic compound with the formula .mw-parser-output .template-chem2-su{display:inline-block;font-size:80%;line-height:1;vertical-align:-0.35em}.mw-parser-output .template-chem2-su>span{display:block;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output sub.template-chem2-sub{font-size:80%;vertical-align:-0.35em}.mw-parser-output sup.template-chem2-sup{font-size:80%;vertical-align:0.65em}CH2=(CH3)CC6H4OH. The molecule consists of a 2-propenyl group (CH2=C-CH3) affixed to the 4 position of phenol. The compound is an intermediate in the production of bisphenol A (BPA), 2.7 Mkg/y of which are produced annually (2007). It is also generated by the recycling of o,p-BPA, a byproduct of the production of the p,p-isomer of BPA.

The high-temperature hydrolysis of BPA gives the title compound together with phenol:

(CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2 + H2O → CH2=(CH3)CC6H4OH + C6H5OH

The compound can also be produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of 4-isopropylphenol.

4-Isopropenylphenol undergoes O-protonation by sulfuric acid, giving the carbocation, which undergoes a variety of dimerization reactions.
