Abstract

Abstract A process for producing aromatic polyether ketones and polythioether ketones, which comprises reacting aromatic ethers or thioethers represented by the general formula: where each of R 1 to R 12 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group or an alkoxy group, n is an integer of 0 to 5, and X is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, with phosgene in aprotic solvent having a dielectric constant of lower than 20 and a dipole moment of lower than 3.0 in the presence of anhydrous halides of metals of Group III in the periodic table as a catalyst.
