摘要:
A method for symmetrically dimerizing phenols which comprises oxidizing phenols in molten state in the liquid phase using a transition metal compound as a catalyst and an oxygen-containing gas as an oxidizing agent to conduct dimerization; and a process for producing diphenols which comprises oxidizing phenols in molten state in the liquid phase using a transition metal compound as a catalyst and an oxygen-containing gas as an oxidizing agent to conduct dimerization, and then interrupting introduction of the oxygen-containing gas to conduct a proton disproportionation reaction.
摘要:
A 1,1-bis(2,7-diglycidyloxy-1-naphthyl)alkane as an epoxy resin; a 1,1-bis(2,7-dihydroxy-1-naphthyl)alkane as an intermediate for said epoxy resin; a process for producing said intermediate comprising reacting 2,7-dihydroxy-1-naphthalene and an aldehyde; a process for producing said epoxy resin comprising reacting said intermediate and an epihalohydrin; and an epoxy resin composition comprising said epoxy resin and a curing agent. The epoxy resin has a low melt viscosity while exhibiting excellent heat resistance.
摘要:
Polydialkoxyphenylenes composed of recurring structural units of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' each represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R and R' may be identical or different, but in no case R and R' are both methyl groups. These compounds can be prepared by polymerizing p-dialkoxybenzenes in an inert solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid and an oxidant under reduced pressure.
