Abstract
Abstract An improved process for the preparation of aromatic carbonates selected from aliphatic aromatic carbonates, diaromatic carbonates, and mixtures thereof comprising reacting a phenolic compound with a dialiphatic carbonate or an aliphatic aromatic carbonate in the presence of a catalytic amount of at least one catalyst selected from polymeric tin compounds containing recurring structural units represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein: R is selected from monovalent hydrocarbon radicals; and R 1 is selected from monovalent hydrocarbon radicals.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
An improved process for the preparation of an aromatic carbonate selected from aliphatic aromatic carbonates represented by the formula ##STR11## diaromatic carbonates represented by the formula ##STR12## and mixtures thereof which comprises reacting a phenolic compound with a dialiphatic carbonate represented by the formula ##STR13## or an aliphatic aromatic carbonate represented by the formula ##STR14## wherein R 2 is independently selected from monovalent aliphatic radicals having from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms and Ar is independently selected from aromatic radicals having from 6 to 12 ring carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst, the improvement comprising utilizing as the catalyst a polymeric tin compound containing recurring structural units represented by the formula ##STR15## wherein: R is selected from monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; and R 1 is selected from monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
