Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I ##STR1## by polycondensation of a diol of the formula II ##STR2## with a dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III ##STR3## In the above formulae, the substituents and symbols R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and n are as defined in claim 1. The process comprises stirring the reaction medium which contains an excess of 2 to 50 mol. %, based on the diol of formula II, of the dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III, in the presence of at least 0.03 mol. % of a suitable catalyst, until the bulk of the alkanol of the formula R 3 OH formed during the reaction is distilled off, under a pressure of 0.7 to 1.3 bar, and thereafter stirring under a pressure of less than 5 mbar, in the temperature range from 100° to 170° C., and subsequently working up the resultant melt in conventional manner.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 230 words
A process for the preparation of a compound of the formula I ##STR8## wherein n is a value from 8 to 25, preferably from 10 to 20, R 1 and R 2 , each independently of the other, are C 1 -C 18 alkylene, C 2 -C 18 alkylene which is interrupted by --O--, --S-- or --N(R)--, in which R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, or are C 4 -C 8 alkenylene, and R 3 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl, by polycondensation of a diol of the formula II ##STR9## with a dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III ##STR10## which process comprises stirring the reaction medium which contains an excess of 2 to 50 mol.%, based on the diol of the formula II, of the dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III, in the presence of at least 0.03 mol.%, of an oxide or of an organometal compound of a metal of the 4th main group or of the 4th auxiliary group of the Periodic Table, until the bulk of the alkanol of the formula R 3 OH which forms during the reaction is distilled off, under a pressure of 0.7 to 1.3 bar, and thereafter stirring under a pressure of less than 10 mbar, in the temperature range from 100° to 170° C., and then working up the melt so obtained in conventional manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 230 words
A process for the preparation of a compound of the formula I ##STR8## wherein n is a value from 8 to 25, preferably from 10 to 20, R 1 and R 2 , each independently of the other, are C 1 -C 18 alkylene, C 2 -C 18 alkylene which is interrupted by --O--, --S-- or --N(R)--, in which R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, or are C 4 -C 8 alkenylene, and R 3 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl, by polycondensation of a diol of the formula II ##STR9## with a dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III ##STR10## which process comprises stirring the reaction medium which contains an excess of 2 to 50 mol.%, based on the diol of the formula II, of the dicarboxylic acid ester of the formula III, in the presence of at least 0.03 mol.%, of an oxide or of an organometal compound of a metal of the 4th main group or of the 4th auxiliary group of the Periodic Table, until the bulk of the alkanol of the formula R 3 OH which forms during the reaction is distilled off, under a pressure of 0.7 to 1.3 bar, and thereafter stirring under a pressure of less than 10 mbar, in the temperature range from 100° to 170° C., and then working up the melt so obtained in conventional manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 59 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 60 words
A process according to claim 1, which comprises stirring the reaction medium under a pressure of 0.9 to 1.1 bar until 70 to 80% of the alkanol of the formula R 3 OH formed during the reaction is distilled off, and thereafter stirring under a pressure of less than 5 mbar in the temperature range from 120° to 150° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst is used in an amount from 0.05 to 1.0 mol.%, based on the diol of the formula II.
