A one-step synthesis of reactive polycarbonate precursors by the coupled oxidative carbonylation of bisphenol-A and phenol with carbon monoxide
The reactive polycarbonate precursors of phenyl carbonate-ended oligomers amenable to polycondensation in the phosgene-free polycarbonate process were catalytically synthesized via a novel one-step reaction of the coupled oxidative carbonylation of bisphenol-A and phenol with carbon monoxide.
