Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of aromatic polyethers by condensation of the reactants in the presence of a condensation agent consisting of a mixture of metal carbonates comprising (a) lithium and/or an alkaline earth metal carbonate and (b) sodium, potassium, rubidium and/or cesium carbonate. The combination of carbonates (a) and (b) according to the invention leads to a surprising increase in activity.
