Abstract:
CONTINUOUS MANUFACTURE OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT LINEAR POLYCARBONATES OF HIGH PURITY FROM ORGANIC DIHYDROXY COMPOUNDS AND PHOSGENE IN ONE OR MORE PACKED REACTORS, WHEREIN THE REACTION IS CARRIED OUT UNDER "TRANSITION FLOW" CONDITIONS, CONVENIENTLY WITH RECYCLING OF THE REACTION MIXTURE.
Abstract:
A catalytic process for the manufacture of trimethyl hydroquinone by reducing trimethyl p-quinone with hydrogen in the presence of an aliphatic alcohol of from three to five carbon atoms as solvent at temperatures ranging from 60* to 180*C.
