METHOD OF PRODUCING POLY(ORTHO-METHYLPHENOL)

Poly(ortho-methylphenol) is obtainable at high purities and yields using industrial processes by causing a secondary amine and formaldehyde to react with a polyphenol (first step), and then breaking down the aminomethyl group of the obtained poly(ortho-aminomethyl)phenol by means of hydrogenolysis in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst (second step).

Thermosensitive recording material and color developer compound therefor

A thermosensitive recording material has a support and a thermosensitive coloring layer formed thereon containing a leuco dye and a color developer capable of inducing color formation in the leuco dye upon application of heat thereto, with the color developer including at least one compound (A) having in a molecule thereof at least two aromatic ring moieties with specific structures, selected from the group consisting of an aromatic ring moiety having at least one carboxyl group and electron-attracting functional group, an aromatic ring moiety having at least one carboxyl group and electron-donating functional group, and an aromatic ring moiety having at least one carboxyl group, free of the electron-attracting and electron-donating functional groups. An aromatic carboxylic acid compound serving as the above-mentioned compound (A) and the producing method thereof are also disclosed.

Method for manufacturing bisphenol

A method for manufacturing bisphenol by reacting phenols and ketones, characterized (1) in that an alkali metal compound and/or alkaline earth metal compound is added to bisphenol obtained by reacting a phenol and a ketone, and (2) in that the basicity of the bisphenol is adjusted so as to be equivalent to an amount of 1 × 10-8to 1 × 10-6moles of bisphenol as disodium salt with respect to 1 mole of bisphenol provides a bisphenol in which there is no residue of the organic catalysts ordinarily used in manufacturing bisphenol, so that byproducts are not produced during purification, allowing bisphenol with outstanding color tone, thermal resistance, etc., to be obtained.

Process for the purification of bisphenols and preparation of polycarbonates therefrom

A phenol and a ketone are reacted to form bisphenol, and the liquid bisphenol obtained or a mixed solution of said solution and a phenol is filtered through a calcined metal filter to obtain bisphenol which makes it possible to efficiently obtain bisphenol which either does not contain fine particulate impurities or contains such impurities only in minute amounts, and a method for manufacturing polycarbonate using bisphenol obtained bythis method. The filtration grade of the calcined metal filter should be 1.0 μm or less. After filtering, the calcined metal filter can be backwashed or chemically washed and then reused. The bisphenol should preferably be bisphenol A.

Process of producing high purity bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfides and heat-sensitive recording materials containing the same

In a process of producing high purity bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfides which comprises reacting phenols with sulfur dichloride in an organic solvent, the improvement comprising: reacting the phenols with sulfur dichloride in a nonpolar organic solvent; removing partly or wholly the nonpolar organic solvent after the reaction; adding a polar organic solvent to the reaction mixture to dissolve the reaction mixture therein at elevated temperatures; and crystallizing out the high purity bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfides. There is further provided a high performance heat-sensitive recording material which comprises high purity bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)sulfide thus prepared and having a melting point in the range of from 123.9° C. to 124.9° C. as a developer and a fluoran compound as a color former.

Carbonates of acetylenic alcohols

Polymerizable carbonate compounds of the formula: wherein A is an aromatic polycycle, R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen atom or alkyl, and n is 1, 2 or 3, are disclosed. They are useful as a component of nonemanating, self-curing and heat resistant resin compositions.

Rearrangements and decompositions of thiobisphenols

2,2′-, 2,4′- and 4,4′-Monothiobisphenol separately rearrange in phenol at 180° in the presence of sodium hydroxide to give similar mixtures containing only 2,2′-, 2,4′- and 4,4′-monothiobisphenol in the approximate ratio, 45:45:10. The rearrangements appear to be intermolecular and they are interpreted in terms of polar processes which lead initially to the formation of o- and p-monothiobenzoquinones. 2,2′-Dithiobisphenol, 4,4′-dithiobisphenol and 4,4′-trithiobisphenol under similar conditions are desulphurated with the evolution of hydrogen sulphide also to give mixtures containing only 2,2 - 2,4′- and 4,4′-monothiobisphenol whilst 3,3′-dithiobisphenol is stable in alkaline phenol even after long periods at 180°. Similar initial heterolyses to o- and p-monothiobenzoquinones are suggested as sources of the monothiobisphenols and displacements of sulphide- or hydrosulphide-ions from intermediate benzeneperthiolate ions by carbanions derived from phenol are suggested as sources of the hydrogen sulphide.
