Abstract

A process for forming a composition containing over, for example, about 90% by weight of an alkylene-arylene bridging group-containing bis(diphenyl phosphate) compound and less than, for example, 10%, by weight, of monophosphate by-product. This process involves the reaction of a composition containing a diphenyl halophosphate and an alkylene-arylene bridging group-containing diol, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid catalyst, utilizing a means, during the course of the reaction, for removal of hydrohalide by-product. The preferred means that are used for removal of hydrohalide by-product include: PA1 performing the reaction in a hydrocarbon solvent; PA1 utilizing vacuum to remove such by-product; PA1 utilizing sparging with an inert gas; and PA1 compatible combinations of one or more of the foregoing means.
