Preparation of bisphenol alkoxylates, useful e.g. for synthesis of polyester resin or polyurethane, uses phosphine catalyst free from alkali metal hydroxide in reaction of bisphenol with alkylene oxide

摘要

Preparation of bisphenol alkoxylates comprises reacting bisphenol(s) with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a phosphine catalyst free from alkali metal hydroxide. An independent claim is also included for the use of specified triaryl-phosphine catalysts in the preparation of bisphenol alkoxylates.
