摘要:
Copolyorganosiloxanecarbonates are prepared by first preparing an oligomeric aromatic polycarbonate, such as an oligomeric bisphenol A polycarbonate, in the presence of a tertiary amine as the only catalyst species; contacting the oligomeric polycarbonate mixture with a polyorganosiloxane bis(aryl)chloroformate, such as the bischloroformate of hydroxy-terminated eugenol polydimethylsiloxane; and introducing phosgene and/or chain termination agent either continuously or in stages. A feature of the process is the presence of dihydroxyaromatic compound in only one charge, at the beginning. The products have excellent physical properties, including transparency.

A method for preparing an aliphatic chloroformate comprising, introducing a mixture of at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound, phosgene, at least one solvent, and optionally at least one organic base into a flow reactor to obtain a unidirectional flowing reaction mixture. The at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound comprises at least one aliphatic hydroxyl group. The unidirectional flowing reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature between about 0° C. and about 60° C. to produce a single product stream comprising an aliphatic chloroformate.

摘要:
Bis(halophthalimides) are prepared in a solvent such as ortho-dichlorobenzene or anisole, by a reaction at a temperature of at least 150° C. between at least one diamine compound and at least one halophthalic anhydride in the presence of imidization catalyst. The reaction produces a vapor stream comprising solvent and water formed as a by-product of the imidization reaction. A suitable vapor handling system comprising a partial reflux condenser is used to recycle the solvent, maintain the reactant concentration, conduct the reaction at a higher temperature, and effect more efficient conversion of reactants to product bis(halophthalimides). Reaction conditions disclosed may also be used to prepare organic polyimides.
