  • Patent number: 11459410
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-purity arylsulfonic acid amine salt vinyl monomer which is an extremely industrially useful arylsulfonic acid monomer with excellent storage stability and amphiphilic solubility in both water and organic solvents, a simple and practical method for producing the same, a polyarylsulfonic acid amine salt which is a polymer thereof, and a method for producing the same. In the arylsulfonic acid amine salt vinyl monomer, a tertiary amine having 2 or 3 different substituents that each have 1 to 7 carbon atoms and also containing at least one or more of tertiary carbon or quaternary carbon or cyclic skeleton in the structure is applied to an amine moiety thereof, and in addition, a polyarylsulfonic acid amine salt having high purity in terms of sulfonation rate and polymerization conversion rate and a polymer thereof are used.

  • Publication number: 20220002262
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing perfluoro(2-methylene-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane), the method including at least following processes (1) to (3): (1) reacting at least one of perfluoro(2,4-dimethyl-2-fluoroformyl-1,3-dioxolane) and a hydrolysis product thereof with a basic aqueous solution containing one or more cations selected from the group consisting of alkali metal ions and alkaline earth metal ions and then separating a liquid containing produced perfluoro(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)carboxylic acid alkali metal salts or perfluoro(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)carboxylic acid alkaline earth metal salts by a liquid separation operation; (2) performing one or more water content reduction treatments selected from the group consisting of water evaporation and water adsorption on the liquid containing the obtained perfluoro(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)carboxylic acid alkali metal salts or perfluoro(2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-yl)carboxylic acid alkaline earth metal salts to obtain perfluoro(2,4-di
