Abstract
Process for the preparation of pure aromatic dicarboxylic acid dichlorides which comprises reacting an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an aromatic dicarboxylic acid mixture with phosgen in one stage and in the presence of an N--C.sub.1 --C.sub.6 -alkyl-pyrrolidine, -piperidine or -morpholine as a catalyst and optionally in a solvent or diluent.
Claims2
A process for preparing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid dichloride which comprises reacting at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid in one stage with phosgene in the presence of a solvent or diluent and at a temperature of 110.degree. to 180.degree. C. in the presence of 0.2 to 3% by weight, based on said aromatic dicarboxylic acid, of an N-alkylpiperidine, N-alkyl-pyrrolidine or N-alkyl-morpholine, each said alkyl moiety having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
