<p>Dislosed is a process for production of a bis-phthalonitrile monomer having an oligophenyl ether spacer chain, said bis-phthalonitrile of Formula (I) wherein n is 2. The process comprises (i) subjecting a 3-alkoxyphenol to reaction with a m-dihalobenzene in the presence of a base and a catalyst composition comprising a copper salt and a ligand whereby a 1,3-bis (3-alkoxyphenoxy) benzene is yielded, (ii) subjecting yielded 1 ,3-bis (3-alkoxyphenoxy) benzene to reaction with a dealkylating agent yielding 1 ,3-bis(3- hydroxyphenoxy)benzene, and (iii) subjecting yielded 1,3-bis (3-hydroxyphenoxy) benzene to reaction with a 4-nitrophthalonitrile in presence of a base yielding 1,3-bis [3-(3,4-dicyano- phenoxy)phenoxy]benzene.</p> |
