A process for the preparation of aryl-diazide-sulfonic acids by a series of sequential in-situ process steps. The process comprises the nitrosation of a hydroxyarylsulfonic acid; conversion of the nitroso-derivative to a sulfamate which is then diazotized to the diazide. Temperature and pH are maintained in predetermined ranges to maintain the reaction products in solution without the formation side-products or the need to isolate intermediates. The process of the invention is particularly useful in the preparation of light-sensitive materials such as naphthoquinonediazide sulfonic acids which are used in the preparation of photoresist compositions. The invention provides a high purity product at a high material efficiency, high equipment utilization, low effluent discharge, and reduced cost.
Continuous reduction process

A process for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amino compounds in the liquid phase using iron as reducing agent, which comprises carrying out the reduction continuously such that the reducing iron, based on the amount of nitro compound present in the reactor, is present in an amount substantially in excess of the stoichiometric amount, and effecting the continuous removal of the reaction products such that the substantial excess of reducing iron is also constantly present in the reactor during the reduction.
