In the case of this method, 1,4-butanediol is usually used in an amount of 1.2 to 2.0 mole times that of terephthalic acid, but one of 1,4-butanediol supplied during the esterification reaction is used. Part tends to be converted to tetrahydrofuran by a side reaction. When a part of 1,4-butanediol is converted to tetrahydrofuran, the basic unit of 1,4-butanediol is reduced and the esterification reaction rate is not improved.
There is also a problem that it is difficult to obtain a high molecular weight polymer. Furthermore, the tendency of this tetrahydrofuran to be a byproduct is
In particular, 1,4-butanediol produced by hydrolyzing an organic acid ester of 1,4-butanediol (for example, 1,4-diacetoxybutane) using a catalyst composed of a cation exchange resin is used as a raw material. In the case of the esterification reaction described above, it was a serious problem in producing polybutylene terephthalate.
