Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to prepare the title resin with a high degree of polymn. in a short time by reacting a dihydric phenol with a methylene dihalide in a solvent in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide and water. CONSTITUTION:A dihydric phenol of formula HO-Ar-OH (wherein Ar in an arom. group) (e.g., 4,4'-dihydroxytetraphenylmethane) is reacted with a methylene dihalide (e.g., methylene chloride) in a solvent (e.g., dimethylimidazolidinone) in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide (e.g., NaOH) and water. It is possible to synthesize in a short time a polyformal resin with a high degree of polymn. by such an extremely simple method as the addition of water.

However, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,260,733, conventional polyformal resins are produced by reacting dihydric phenols and methylene chloride in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide. It is synthesized by 1. The alkali metal hydroxide is difficult to dissolve in a solvent, so it takes a long time for the dihydric phenols to form a salt, resulting in a slow polymerization rate.
