Polycarbonates containing low or undetectable levels of Fries rearrangement product may be prepared by the melt reaction of a dihydroxy aromatic compound such as bisphenol A with an ester-substituted diaryl carbonate such as the diaryl carbonate of methyl salicylate, bis-methyl salicyl carbonate. Low levels of Fries product are obtained as the combined result of a highly effective catalyst system which suppresses the Fries reaction and the use of lower melt polymerization temperatures relative to temperatures required for the analogous polymerization reaction using diphenyl carbonate.
可通过二羟基芳香族化合物(如双
酚 A)与酯取代的二芳基
碳酸酯(如
水杨酸甲酯的二芳基
碳酸酯,即双甲基
水杨基
碳酸酯)的熔融反应,制备含较少或检测不到的弗里斯重排产物的聚
碳酸酯。与使用
碳酸二苯酯进行类似聚合反应所需的温度相比,使用高效的催化剂系统抑制弗里斯反应,并使用较低的熔融聚合温度,从而获得低
水平的弗里斯产物。
