Abstract

Alkali metal salts of terephthalic acid are prepared by heating an alkali metal salt of pyromellitic acid to an elevated temperature in an inert atmosphere and in the presence of an alkali metal salt of benzoic acid. Specified alkali metal salts are those of sodium, lithium, rubidium or, preferably potassium. The alkali metal salts may be preformed or may be formed in situ, for example from pyromellitic anhydride, benzoic anhydride and an alkali metal carbonate. A metal catalyst may be used, the preferred one being cadmium benzoate. Specified reaction temperatures are above 300 DEG C., and preferably about 425 DEG C. Specified inert gases are carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Terephthalic acid may be obtained from the salts by known methods. In examples, pyromellitic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, potassium, sodium or lithium carbonate and cadmium benzoate were heated in a sealed vessel in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, the reaction mixture extracted with water, filtered and the filtrate acidified to give terephthalic acid.
