Abstract

Dimethyl terephthalate is prepared by the reaction of polyethylene terephthalate with methanol in the presence of an aryl sulphonic acid. Suitable aryl sulphonic acids are benzene sulphonic acid, benzene disulphonic acid, naphthalene sulphonic acid, naphthalene disulphonic acid, toluyl sulphonic acid, anthracene sulphonic acid and methyl naphthalene sulphonic acid. The acids are preferably present in up to 5 per cent by weight of the polycondensate. The reaction may be carried out at 20-35 atm. gauge pressure, at temperatures up to 200 DEG C., or at atmospheric pressure at temperatures up to 300 DEG C. Examples are given.
