A process for forming a cycloalkylidene bisphenol comprises: reacting a cycloalkanone compound of formula: where [A] is a substituted or an unsubstituted aromatic group, R1–R4 independently represent a hydrogen or a C1–C12 hydrocarbyl group; and “a” and “b” are integers independently having values from 0–3; with an aromatic hydroxy compound of formula [A]-OH, where [A] is as previously described; at a mole ratio of greater than or equal to about 20, in the presence of a sulfonic acid type ion exchange resin catalyst crosslinked with greater than or equal to about 8 weight percent of divinylbenzene, and a promoter selected from the group consisting of a mercaptan compound and a resorcinol compound; to form a cycloalkylidene bisphenol of formula: where [A], R1–R4, “a” and “b” are as previously described. Moreover, any acid catalyst can be used with a resorcinol promoter.

A continuous process comprising: contacting a mixture comprising dihydroxy aromatic compound, water and an alkylating agent with a catalyst system in the presence of a flowing carrier gas, to form a mono alkylated dihydroxy aromatic compound, wherein the catalyst system is obtained by the calcination of a catalyst precursor system comprising a metal oxide precursor, a transition metal element and a pore former.
摘要:
A polycarbonate comprises structural units derived from a compound comprising a ketone functionality and at least two fused rings, A and B wherein ring A is a saturated ring or ring system having 5 to 7 cyclic carbons and substituted with a ketone functionality and ring B is a saturated ring having 5 to 6 cyclic carbons
摘要:
Use of a specific combination of catalysts for the first and second steps of the process for the conversion of CHP to BPA provides high yields of BPA and low impurity yields, without a requirement for the intermediate purification steps. In the first step, CHP is cleaved in the presence of a sulfated metal oxide catalyst such as sulfated Zirconia to produce phenol and acetone. In the second step, the phenol and acetone produced is reacted, preferably without intermediate purification, in the presence of a cation exchange resin catalyst that includes a cation exchange resin and a mercaptan or mercaptoalkanoic acid promoter to produce BPA.
