METHOD FOR PRODUCING BISPHENOL COMPOUND

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an aldehyde bisphenol compound, wherein a 4,4'-substituted body is obtained efficiently and easily with significantly high regioselectivity. SOLUTION: When producing an aldehyde bisphenol compound from a phenol and an aldehyde, a heteropoly acid is used as an acid catalyst. The heteropoly acid has: a hydrogen atom; an oxygen atom; an atom of Groups 5 to 6 in the periodic table; and an atom of Groups 7 to 16 in the periodic table, excluding the oxygen atom, as constituent atoms, respectively, with the ratio between the number of hydrogen atoms/the number of anions being 0.080 or more.

MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR POLYCARBONATE

A method for manufacturing polycarbonate by melt-polycondensing bisphenol and carbonic acid diester uses as catalyst an alkali metal compound and/or alkaline earth metal compound (a). The catalyst is added to the bisphenol prior to the melt polycondensation, in an effective amount, i.e., the amount of alkali metal compound and/or alkaline earth metal compound (a) that acts effectively as a catalyst, is contained in said bisphenol, and is controlled to have the same catalytic activity as 1×10?8 to 1×10?6 mole of bisphenol disodium salt per mole of pure bisphenol A. The method conducts the reaction efficiently from the initial stage in a stable manner to obtain polycarbonate with good color, good heat stability and color stability during molding and the like.

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.

Metal cation-exchanged montmorillonite (Mn+-mont)-catalysed aromatic alkylation with aldehydes and ketones

The alkylation of aromatic compounds with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of a variety of metal cation-exchanged montmorillonites (Mn+-mont; Mn+ = Zr4+, Al3+, Fe3+, Zn2+, H+, Na+) has been investigated. Al3+- and Zr4+-Monts are revealed to be effective as catalysts, while no reaction takes place with Na+-mont. Al3+-Mont-catalysed alkylation of phenol with several aldehydes produces mainly or almost solely the corresponding gem-bis(hydroxyphenyl)alkanes (bisphenols) in good yields, while that with several ketones affords selectively the corresponding alkylphenols in moderate to good yields. The alkylation always occurs at the carbonyl carbon without any skeletal rearrangement and the kind of products depends much on the steric hindrance of an electrophilic intermediary carbocation. The alkylation of anisole, veratrole and p-cresol proceeds well, while that of toluene, benzene, chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene scarcely occurs.

Processes for producing aromatic polycarbonate oligomer and aromatic polycarbonate

A process for producing continuously an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer by reacting an aromatic dihydroxy compound and an alkali metal base or an alkaline earth metal base with a carbonyl halide compound comprises: (1) feeding continuously to a tank reactor an aromatic dihydroxy compound, water, a molecular weight controlling agent, a polymerization catalyst, a carbonyl halide compound, and an organic solvent, and an alkali metal base or an alkaline earth metal base in an amount of 1.15-1.6 equivalents based on the aromatic dihydroxy compound, (2) carrying out the reaction with a residence time as defined by the following formula, where X is an amount of the polymerization catalyst in terms of mole % based on the amount of mole of the aromatic dihydroxy compound fed per unit time, and Y is a residence time (min.), and (3) continuously withdrawing the reaction mixture from the tank reactor to obtain an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer having a number average molecular weight of 1,000-10,000. An aromatic polycarbonate is produced by polycondensation of the aromatic polycarbonate oligomer.
