Reaktionsschritte

Following the general procedure of Example 9, a slurry of 8.28 parts terephthalic acid in 80 parts dry dichloromethane was added to a stirred mixture of 8.72 parts pyridine and 10.84 parts phosgene in 210 parts dry dichloromethane at 24° to 30° C. The ratio of equivalents of pyridine base/COOH acid groups was 1.10. After carrying out the reaction and esterifying the resulting diacid chloride by the procedure described in Example 1, there was obtained a 100% yield of dimethyl terephthalate, corresponding to a 100% yield of terephthaloyl chloride, formed initially in the reaction.
