Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing an aromatic polyether, comprising reacting 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in the presence of a potassium carbonate satisfying at least one of the following conditions (A) and (B): (A) the potassium carbonate has a bulk density of 1.2 g/ml or less; and (B) an average particle diameter D (μm) and a specific surface area S (m 2 /g) of the potassium carbonate satisfy D/S≤600.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing an aromatic polyether, comprising reacting 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in the presence of a potassium carbonate satisfying the following conditions (A) and (B): (A) the potassium carbonate has a bulk density of 1.2 g/ml or less; and (B) an average particle diameter D (m) and a specific surface area S (m 2 /g) of the potassium carbonate satisfy D/S≤600, wherein the potassium carbonate is the only alkali metal salt used in the reaction, and a combined concentration of 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in a solvent is 1.5 mol/1 to 4.0 mol/l. 2. The method for producing an aromatic polyether according to claim 1 , comprising reacting 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and hydroquinone under a condition in which none of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, rubidium fluoride and cesium fluoride are present. 3. The method for producing an aromatic polyether according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic polyether to be produced has a melt flow index of 100 g/10 min or less. 4. The method for producing an aromatic polyether according to claim 1 , comprising reacting 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in diphenyl sulfone. 5. The method for producing an aromatic polyether according to claim 1 , wherein the potassium carbonate satisfies D/S≤221. 6. The method for producing an aromatic polyether according to claim 1 , wherein said reacting is performed in a reaction mixture consisting of 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone, hydroquinone, the potassium carbonate and the solvent.
