- Process for aryl-quinone and aryl-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic acids
-
A process for the preparation of aryl-diazide-sulfonic acids by a series of sequential in-situ process steps. The process comprises the nitrosation of a hydroxyarylsulfonic acid; conversion of the nitroso-derivative to a sulfamate which is then diazotized to the diazide. Temperature and pH are maintained in predetermined ranges to maintain the reaction products in solution without the formation side-products or the need to isolate intermediates. The process of the invention is particularly useful in the preparation of light-sensitive materials such as naphthoquinonediazide sulfonic acids which are used in the preparation of photoresist compositions. The invention provides a high purity product at a high material efficiency, high equipment utilization, low effluent discharge, and reduced cost.

- Sulfonation and sulfation in the reactions of the chloro- and dichlorophenols, 3-fluorophenol and (2,3-, 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid with concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid and sulfur trioxide
-
The chloro- and dichlorophenols have been sulfonated with sulfuric acid and with SO3 in aprotic solvents.In the sulfonations with concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid, the sulfonic acid isomer distribution is determined mainly by the ortho- and para-directing and activating effect of the hydroxy substituent; this is also the determining factor in the aprotic sulfonations using up to 1.0 equiv of SO3.Upon using larger amounts of SO3, the sulfonation isomer distribution is increasingly determined by additional sulfonation of the corresponding phenyl hydrogen sulfate, of which the -OSO3H substituent is deactivating and mainly para- (and further ortho-) directing.The sulfuric acid sulfonation of (2,3-, 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid leads to the exclusive formation of the 4-, 6- and 6-sulfonic acid, respectively.
