VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON 4,4'-DIHALOGEN-O-HYDROXYDIPHENYLVERBINDUNGEN

摘要

A description is given of a three-step process for the preparation of 4,4'-dihalogen-o-hydroxydiphenyl compounds of formula (1) which comprises: a) hologenating an alkoxyphenol of formula (6) (=a1), reacting the resulting halogenated phenol compound of formula (5) with p-dihalobenzene of formula (4a) in the presence of copper and/or copper salts to the diphenyl ether compound of formula (2) (=a2) and subsequent ether fission to the diphenyl ether compound of formula (1) (=a3); or b) reacting an alkoxyphenol of formula (6) with the halophenol of formula (4b) to the compound of formula (3) (=b1), then halogenating this compound (=b2) and subsequent ether fission of the resulting compound of formula (2) to the diphenyl ether compound of formula (1) (=b3). The compounds of formula (1) are used for protecting organic materials and objects against microorganisms.
