A series of phenolic stilbenoids possessing different numbers and positions of hydroxylation, partial methoxyl substituents and nature of olefinic moieties has been synthesized by McMurry coupling. It is found that the McMurry coupling of the phenolic aldehydes furnishes the dihydrostilbenes via an in situ hydrogenation, while the phenolic ketones give the stilbenes. Interestingly, the study also reveals that the low-valent titanium reagent (TiCl 3-Zn-THF) could selectively depyranylate phenolic -OTHP function without affecting alcoholic -OTHP group.
Method for preparing aromatic bischloroformate compositions
-
, (2008/06/13)
Bischloroformate oligomer compositions are prepared by passing phosgene into a heterogeneous aqueous-organic mixture containing at least one dihydroxyaromatic compound, with simultaneous introduction of a base at a rate to maintain a specific pH range and to produce a specific volume ratio of aqueous to organic phase. By this method, it is possible to employ a minimum amount of phosgene. The reaction may be conducted batchwise or continuously. The bischloroformate composition may be employed for the preparation of cyclic polycarbonate oligomers or linear polycarbonate, and linear polycarbonate formation may be integrated with bischloroformate composition formation in a batch or continuous process.
Bischoloroformate preparation method with phosgene removal and monochloroformate conversion
-
, (2008/06/13)
Aqueous bischloroformates are prepared by the reaction of a dihydroxyaromatic compound (e.g., bisphenol A) with phosgene in a substantially inert organic liquid (e.g., methylene chloride) and in the presence of an aqueous alkali metal or alkaline earth metal base, at a pH below about 8. After all solid dihydroxyaromatic compound has been consumed, the pH is raised to a higher value in the range of about 7-12, preferably 9-11, and maintained in said range until a major proportion of the unreacted phosgene has been hydrolyzed. At the same time, any monochloroformate in the product may be converted to bischloroformate.
