6. Use and Manufacturing Prepn : prepd by action of powdered potassium hydroxide or of potassium ethoxide solution on mixture of chloroform & acetone . By action of potassium hydroxide on a solution of chloroform and acetone. The para and ortho positions of phenols condense at the carbonyl group of acetone to make bisphenols ... If the H atom is activated, ClCH - compounds add to the carbonyl group in the presence of stong base; chloroform gives chloretone .
