摘要:
A process for the preparation of aromatic carbonyl or sulfonyl compounds with a diaryl ether structure by reacting phenols with halogenated carbonyl- or sulfonylaromatic compounds in a dipolar aprotic solvent is carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of alkali metal nitrite or an aromatic nitro, nitroso, azo, azoxy or hydrazo compound.
摘要:
A process for preparing polyaryl ethers of the formula I or Ia ##STR1## by condensation of at least one appropriate bisphenol with at least one appropriate aromatic dichloride in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate in a dipolar aprotic solvent, is carried out in the presence of a catalyst selected from the alkali metal nitrites and the group of compounds of the formula II ##STR2## where r.sup.1 and r.sup.3 are each hydrogen, C.sub.7 -C.sub.16 -phenylalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkoxy, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine or nitro, and R.sup.2 is nitro or nitroso, or ##STR3## where R.sup.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone by reacting phenol with sulfuric acid at a temperature of from 140.degree. to 230.degree. C., wherein the sulfuric acid is metered in to the phenol only after the reaction temperature has been reached, the phenol and sulfuric acid are used in a molar ratio of from 1:1 to 25:1 and the reaction is carried out in the absence of an inert solvent.
摘要:
Azo dyes useful for dyeing natural or synthetic substrates have the formula ##STR1## where n is from 1 to 4,q is 1 or 2,L.sup.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl,L.sup.2 is acetyl, carbamoyl or hydroxysulfonyl, andD is the radical of a diazo component.
摘要:
A multi-stage catalytic process for preparing a 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-propionate, especially methyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-propionate, with a purity greater than 99% by esterifying the corresponding 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-propionic acid with an excess amount of alcohol, e.g. methyl alcohol, in a series of at least 2 up to 10 sequential stages at temperatures of 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. and pressures of 0.05 to 5 bar in the presence of a distillable acid catalyst such as hydrochloric acid or hydrogen chloride. In a first esterification stage, unreacted alcohol is removed from the ester product in vacuo at temperatures of 30.degree. to 100.degree. C. together with other volatile components, including the acid catalyst. Without a separate purification of the resulting ester as the bottoms product of the first stage, the esterification step is repeated in at least one additional stage. The final ester product of this multi-stage process is characterized by a water content of less than 0.1%, a halide content of less than 100 ppm, an organic halogen content of less than 50 ppm and a content of all other contaminating compounds of less than 0.1%.
