Abstract: The invention is a new process for preparing 4,6-diaminoresorcinol, a precursor to polybisbenzoxazoles. The desired product is prepared from resorcinol by incorporating a halo group on the 2-position of resorcinol to form 2-haloresorcinol, then nitrating selectively at the 4- and 6-positions of the 2-haloresorcinol to form 2-halo-4,6-dinitroresorcinol, then hydrogenating the 2-halo-4,6-dinitroresorcinol. The selective incorporation of a halo group on the 2-position of resorcinol is accomplished by sulfonating resorcinol at the 4- and 6-positions.
