Preparation and use of nitroterephthalamic acids

Abstract

2- and 3-Nitroterephthalamic acids are prepared by ammonolysis of dialkyl nitroterephthalates. The terephthalamic acids are useful as intermediates in the preparation of difunctional compounds useful in the preparation of aromatic polyamides and polybenzimidazoles.
