PROCESS FOR REACTING A LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYDROXY COMPOUND WITH A CARBOXYLIC ACID HALIDE

摘要

In a process for reacting a low molecular weight hydroxy compound with a carboxylic acid halide, a small amount of the acid halide is introduced into the reaction vessel and the remainder of the acid halide and the hydroxy compound are added gradually in an approximately stoichiometric ratio. The hydrogen halide formed is thus prevented from dissolving in the reaction medium. The heat of reaction to be dissipated is negligible.
