30.3 g of bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)sulfone, 18.5 g of isopropylbromide, and 22.2 g of potassium carbonate as acid-binding agent were added to 200 ml of dimethylformamide, then stirred for 4 hours at about 120° C. and dimethylformamide was distilled off under reduced pressure. When this was accomplished, chloroform was added to the residue to extract crude 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone. Then this crude compound was refined by using a silica gel column chromatography and 15.7 g of 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone was obtained in white microfine crystals with a melting point of 129.0°~131.0° C.
