Abstract
Abstract A method of producing polyphenyleneoxides-1,4, residing in that single-ring aromatic monooxy-compounds are oxidized by oxygen in the medium of an organic solvent which is a nitrile of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid or a nitrile of an aliphatic polybasic carboxylic acid with all the carboxylic groups substituted by nitrile groups, in the presence of a catalyst which is a cupramine complex formed by a copper salt and an amine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
IN A METHOD OF PRODUCING POLYPHENYLENEOXIDES-1,4, COMPRISING OXIDIZING A SINGLE-RING AROMATIC MONOOXY-COMPOUND WITH OXYGEN IN AN ORGANIC SOLVENT IN THE PRESENCE OF A CUPRAMINE COMPLEX CATALYST FORMED FROM A COPPER SALT AND AN AMINE, AN IMPROVEMENT ACCORDING TO WHICH THE ORGANIC SOLVENT IS A NITRILE OF AN ALIPHATIC MONOCARBOXYLIC ACID OR OF AN ALIPHATIC POLYBASIC CARBOXYLIC ACID WHEREIN ALL THE CARBOXYLIC GROUPS ARE SUBSTITUTED BY NITRILE GROUPS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
