It is estrogenic and cytotoxic.[1] Upon decomposition, it can form harmful gases like carbon monoxide and dioxide. It should not be stored with strong oxidizing agents.
4,4'-Biphenol is manufactured on a large scale by the oxidation and then reduction of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol followed by de-alkylation[citation needed].
