摘要:
A method for preparing bisphenol A is disclosed, with a selectivity for the p,p′-isomer of greater than about 97%. The method involves reacting phenol with p-isopropenylphenol or 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanol in the presence of a catalyst, at a reaction temperature of no greater than about 65° C. The bisphenol A product is preferably purified by a technique which omits the use of adduct crystallization.
摘要:
Hydroxyaromatic compounds such as phenol are converted to diaryl carbonates by reaction with oxygen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst package which comprises a Group VIIIB metal, preferably palladium, salt of at least one aliphatic .beta.-diketone such as 2,4-pentanedione. The catalyst package also preferably comprises an inorganic cocatalyst, an organic cocatalyst and a bromide or chloride, preferably bromide, source such as a hexaalkylguanidinium bromide. The use of the .beta.-diketone salt confers such advantages as long shelf life under normal storage conditions, high activity upon recycle and capability of carbonylation at relatively low temperatures.

In one aspect, the present invention provides a curable composition useful in the preparation of a gas separation membrane. The curable composition comprises a polyvinyl alcohol; an aliphatic polyamine; a polyglycidyl ether; and a salt of a C3-C5 amino cycloaliphatic acid. In another aspect the present invention provides a composition comprising a crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol comprising structural units derived from a polyglycidyl ether, a polyamine and the salt of a C3 to C5 amino cycloaliphatic acid. The compositions are useful in the preparation of gas separation membranes in which the C3 to C5 amino cycloaliphatic acid in the form of its salt functions as a mobile carrier of carbon dioxide.
摘要:
Hydroxyaromatic compounds such as phenol are converted to diaryl carbonates by reaction with oxygen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst package which typically comprises a group VIIIB metal or compound thereof, an inorganic cocatalyst, an organic cocatalyst and a hexaalkylguanidinium bromide or chloride, preferably bromide. The use of the hexaalkylguanidinium salt causes an increase in the yield of diaryl carbonate without a decrease in selectivity.
摘要:
Hydroxyaromatic compounds such as phenol are converted to diaryl carbonates by reaction with oxygen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst package and an added diluent free from active hydrogen. The preferred catalyst packages comprise a Group VIIIB metal or salt thereof, an inorganic cocatalyst, and organic cocatalysts and a bromide or chloride source. The amount of added diluent is an effective amount to improve selectivity to diaryl carbonate. Preferred diluents are diphenyl carbonate and N-methylpyrrolidone.
摘要:
Adducts of hydroxyaromatic compounds such as phenol and diaryl carbonates such as diphenyl carbonate are washed with a washing composition comprising a major proportion, typically about 90%, of the hydroxyaromatic compound and a minor proportion, typically about 10%, of the diaryl carbonate.
摘要:
A method for recovering substantially pure p,p-bisarylols from a mixture comprising the same by subjecting the mixture to vacuum distillation and melt crystallization in the absence of an adduct crystallization and the generation of a reaction recycle stream.
摘要:
The method of the present invention comprises reaction of a gaseous mixture of oxygen and carbon monoxide with an aromatic hydroxy compound in the presence of a catalyst under controlled pressure, wherein the partial pressure of oxygen is optimized to effect increased yields at reduced overall pressure.

摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for purification of dianhydrides comprising a substantial amount (10000 ppm or more) of at least one metal salt. In one aspect the method is useful for the purification of dianhydrides prepared by the reaction of a halophthalic anhydride with a metal carbonate and may be optionally catalyzed by a phase transfer catalyst. The purification of the dianhydrides may be accomplished by hydrolyzing the dianhydride metal salt mixture directly to a tetraacid with an inorganic acid, followed by separating the impurities from an aqueous phase, and subsequently heating the tetraacid to effect ring closure to form a purified dianhydride having less than 50 parts per million metal halide and lower levels of other residual impurities. In one aspect the method is highly effective in removing phase transfer catalyst impurities such as hexalkylguanidinium halides initially present in the dianhydride undergoing purification.
