Abstract: A phenylene ether oligomer is prepared by a process that includes partially converting 2,6-dimethylphenol to 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl and/or 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyldiphenoquinone, converting the residual 2,6 dimethylphenol to poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) and any 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl to 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyldiphenoquinone, and reacting the poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyldiphenoquinone to form the phenylene ether oligomer. The preparation can be conducted without isolation of intermediates.
