Abstract

Oxydiphthalic anhydrides such as 4-oxydiphthalic anhydride are prepared by the reaction of a halophthalic anhydride with an alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate. The reaction proceeds in the presence of a hexaalkylguaninium halide or &agr;,&ohgr;-bis(pentaalkylguanidinium)alkane halide as a phase transfer catalyst.
