Abstract
A method for preparing a polyphenylene ether resin is described. In one embodiment the method comprises: preparing a magnesium-based alkylation catalyst, by dry-blending at least one filler with a magnesium reagent which yields magnesium oxide upon calcination; calcining the alkylation catalyst; reacting a phenolic compound and an alkyl alcohol in the presence of the alkylation catalyst, to form a 2,6-alkyl-disubstituted phenolic compound; and oxidatively coupling the 2,6-alkyl-disubstituted phenolic compound in the presence of a suitable polymerization catalyst, to form the polyphenylene ether resin.
