Preparation of poly-O-hydroxyamides and poly O-mercaptoamides

摘要

In a process for the preparation of poly-o-hydroxyamides and poly-o-mercaptoamides, a bis-o-aminophenol or a bis-o-aminothiophenol is reacted with a dicarboxylic acid derivative with the following structure: M-CO-R*-CO-M where M stands for the residue of an (optionally substituted) 2-hydroxybenzoxazole, 2-hydroxybenzothiazole, or 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or of corresponding mercapto compounds and R* is the parent body of the dicarboxylic acid.
