Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A process for preparing thermally stable, solid monoperoxyphthalic acid comprising reacting, in a liquid halogenated hydrocarbon reaction medium, phthalic anhydride with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of at least 65 percent by weight at a molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to phthalic anhydride of at least 1.2 to 1, said liquid halogenated hydrocarbon being a solvent for the phthalic anhydride and a non-solvent for the monoperoxyphthalic acid, precipitating monoperoxyphthalic acid and recovering a solid monoperoxyphthalic acid having a decomposition rate of less than 3.0 weight percent per day at 60° C., said reaction being conducted with agitation at a temperature of between 35° C. and 70° C., in the absence of a basic catalyst and in the absence of the addition of acids or bases after completion of the reaction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A process for preparing thermally stable, solid monoperoxyphthalic acid comprising reacting, in a liquid halogenated hydrocarbon reaction medium, phthalic anhydride with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of at least 65 percent by weight at a molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to phthalic anhydride of at least 1.2 to 1, said liquid halogenated hydrocarbon being a solvent for the phthalic anhydride and a non-solvent for the monoperoxyphthalic acid, precipitating monoperoxyphthalic acid and recovering a solid monoperoxyphthalic acid having a decomposition rate of less than 3.0 weight percent per day at 60° C., said reaction being conducted with agitation at a temperature of between 35° C. and 70° C., in the absence of a basic catalyst and in the absence of the addition of acids or bases after completion of the reaction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the halogenated hydrocarbon is ethylene dichloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to phthalic anhydride is at least 1.6 to 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrogen peroxide solution has a hydrogen peroxide content of over 85 weight percent.
