Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a process for producing aromatic polymers having a high degree of polymerization by subjecting halogenated aromatic compounds or combinations of aromatic compounds and polyhalogenated aromatic compounds to a dehydrohalogenation reaction in the presence of a metal halide and thereby effect a polycondensation. The halogenated aromatic compounds, aromatic compound and polyhalogenated aromatic compounds include not only those compounds having benzene nucleus or nuclei, but also compounds of aromatic character such as heterocyclic five-membered compounds. The resulting polymers are particularly useful in the field of electronics.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A process for producing an aromatic polymer compound which comprises subjecting either a halogenated aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least one active hydrogen atom and at least one halogen atom directly bonded to the nucleus, or a combination of an aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least two active hydrogen atoms directly bonded to the nucleus and a polyhalogenated aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least two halogen atoms directly bonded to the nucleus, to a dehydrohalogenation reaction in the presence of a metal halide and threby cause a condensation reaction with the formation of an aromatic polymer product.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A process for producing an aromatic polymer compound which comprises subjecting either a halogenated aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least one active hydrogen atom and at least one halogen atom directly bonded to the nucleus, or a combination of an aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least two active hydrogen atoms directly bonded to the nucleus and a polyhalogenated aromatic compound which has an aromatic or heterocyclic five-membered nucleus and at least two halogen atoms directly bonded to the nucleus, to a dehydrohalogenation reaction in the presence of a metal halide and threby cause a condensation reaction with the formation of an aromatic polymer product.
