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.
