A process for the preparation of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulphonic acid, characterized in that 3,4-diaminobenzenesulphonic acid is reacted at a pH between 4 and 7 in aqueous solution with 0.9 to 1.5 mol of benzaldehyde per mole of 3,4-diaminobenzenesulphonic acid and with 1.0 to 3.0 mol of SOper mole of 3,4-diaminobenzenesulphonic acid, or an agent which comprises 1.0 to 3.0 mol of SOper mole of 3.4-diaminobenzenesulphonic acid, is described.

2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulphonic acid from isolated 3,4-diaminobenzenesulphonic acid and use thereof in cosmetic preparations

2-Halogenoindan-1-ones are prepared in an advantageous manner by converting anilines into diazonium salts and these, with acrylic compounds, into 3-phenyl-1-halogenoproprionic acid derivatives, and latter are cyclized.

Process for preparing 2-halogenated indan-1-ones

Quinazoline-2,4-diones are obtained in high yields and purities by reacting anthranilic acids with isocyanates and then, without isolation of the urea formed as intermediate, treating the reaction mixture with acid.

Process for preparing haloaromatic amines by catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding halonitroaromatic compounds, characterized in that iron-containing Raney nickel is used as catalyst, where the haloaromatic amines prepared can be used for the synthesis of photographic couplers which are useful in photographic emulsions or elements.

Hydrogenation of halonitroaromatic compounds

5-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid having low contents of 3-fluoro-2-nitro-benzoic acid is prepared in a simple manner by nitrating 3-fluorobenzoic acid in an anhydrous medium using an anhydrous nitrating acid and isolating and purifying 5-fluoro-2nitro-benzoic acid, by taking 7.5 to 15 parts by weight of water, based on 1 part by weight of 3-fluorobenzoic acid used, introducing the reaction mixture reacted to exhaustion into this volume of water taken, filtering off the precipitate formed and washing it with water.

Process for the preparation of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid

3-Chloro-3'-nitro-4'-methoxybenzophenone with substantially lower contents of dinitro derivatives than hitherto is obtained if 3-chloro-4'-methoxybenzophenone is nitrated in from 65 to 85% strength by weight sulfuric acid with nitric acid at temperatures in the range from -20.degree. to +60.degree. C.

Process for the preparation of 3-chloro-3'-Nitro-4'-Methoxybenzophenone

Mixtures consisting essentially of cyclohexylbiphenyls, dicyclohexylbenzenes, phenylbicyclohexyls and tercyclohexyls are outstandingly suitable as heat transfer media. The mixtures can be prepared from biphenyl and cyclohexanol in the presence of bleaching earths and subsequent hydrogenation.

Fully aromatic polyesters which contain 3-phenyl-4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone radicals and/or 3-phenyl-3',4-dihydroxybenzophenone radicals as condensed units possess high mechanical properties but can still be processed without difficulties by a thermolastic method.
