Abstract
Crude diphenyl phthalates, including isomeric mixtures thereof which are prepared by reacting mixtures of isophthalic and terephthalic acids with phenol, preferably in the presence of an organotitanate, organozirconate, or organostannate catalyst, are purified by dissolving the crude phthalate in an organic solvent, contacting the resulting solution with dilute aqueous alkali to neutralize the ester, separating the resulting oil and aqueous phases, and thereafter recovering from the oil phase a purified diaryl phthalate of reduced color and low acidity.
