BROMINATION PROCESS

A process for partially brominating non-condensing ring aromatics (e.g. diphenyl ether) in the absence of a solvent by adding the polyaromatic to a stoichiometric excess of liquid bromine containing a zirconium halide catalyst. Product containing three bromine atoms per benzene ring (e.g., hexabromo...

Zusammenfassung:A process for partially brominating non-condensing ring aromatics (e.g. diphenyl ether) in the absence of a solvent by adding the polyaromatic to a stoichiometric excess of liquid bromine containing a zirconium halide catalyst. Product containing three bromine atoms per benzene ring (e.g., hexabromodiphenyl ether) is formed in high selectivity by keeping the reaction mixture below a threshhold temperature at which higher bromine substitution occurs.
