This invention uses 2,2-bis(3,5-dinitro-4-hydroxyphenyl) propane as a polymerization inhibitor. For the sake of convenience, this compound will also be called tetranitrobisphenol A. A method of synthesizing said compound is described in Stroganov et al, Zh. Org. Khim 1973, 9(8), 1713-17, and Smirnov and Stroganov USSR Pat. No. 237,860 (1969). Thus, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane is nitrated with a concentrated nitric acid (for instance 70% HNO3) in a suitable solvent such as dichloroethane to afford primarily 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-nitro-phenyl)propane. A typical reaction condition for this step is 20°-30° C. for 2 hours. Without isolating the product, a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid (for instance, 42% H2SO4, 50% HNO3, and 8% H2O) is added to the reaction mixture and nitration continued to afford tetranitrobisphenol A. A typical reaction condition for the second step is 40° C. for 2 hours. The desired product is isolated by a routine procedure.
