Abstract
A method is provided for reducing the reflux temperatures of methylene chloride in phosgenation reactions by introducing a second inert vaporizable component to the reaction medium. This second inert vaporizable component has a lower vaporization temperature than the methylene chloride so as to reduce the temperature of vaporization of the mixture. More efficient use of phosgene is obtained when polymerizing aromatic dihydroxy compounds to polycarbonates and higher yields of monomeric and dimeric bischloroformates are obtained.
