Claims
- 1. A process for the preparation of an aromatic polyamide, said process comprising reacting carbon monoxide and an aromatic iodoamine having at least one iodine atom covalently bonded to an aromatic ring and at least one amino group; in the presence of solvent, base, and catalyst selected from the group consisting of platinum compounds, palladium compounds, and nickel compounds, at a pressure greater than 15 psia.
- 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said pressure is at least 35 psia.
- 3. The process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst is a palladium catalyst.
- 4. The process of claim 3 wherein said palladium catalyst is selected from the group consisting of PdX.sup.1.sub.2, PdX.sup.1 L.sub.2, Pd(acetate).sub.2, Pd(acetate).sub.2 L.sub.2, PdCl.sub.2 (R.sup.2 CN).sub.2, PhPdX.sup.2 L.sub.2, PdCl.sub.2 (cis, cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene).sub.2, Pd(2,4-pentanedionate).sub.2, PdL.sub.4, and ##STR6## wherein X.sup.1 is Cl, Br, or I,
- L is (R.sup.1).sub.3 P, and R.sup.1 is alkyl or aryl,
- R.sup.2 is CH.sub.3 or phenyl, and
- X.sup.2 is Br or I.
- 5. The process of claim 1 wherein said iodoamine is selected from the group consisting of ##STR7##
- 6. A process for the preparation of an aromatic polyamide comprising reacting carbon monoxide and an aromatic iodoamine having at least one iodine atom covalently bonded to an aromatic ring and at least one amino group, in the presence of solvent and catalyst, said catalyst being selected from the group consisting of platinum compounds, palladium compounds, and nickel compounds.
- 7. The process of claim 6 further comprising neutralizing byproduct hydrogen iodide.
- 8. The method of claim 7 wherein said catalyst is a palladium compound.
- 9. The process of claim 8 wherein said palladium catalyst is selected from the group consisting of PdX.sup.1.sub.2, PdX.sup.1 L.sub.2, Pd(acetate).sub.2, Pd(acetate).sub.2 L.sub.2, PdCl.sub.2 (R.sup.2 CN).sub.2, PhPdX.sup.2 L.sub.2, PdCl.sub.2 (cis, cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene).sub.2, Pd(2,4-pentanedionate).sub.2, PdL.sub.4, and ##STR8## wherein X.sup.1 is Cl, Br, or I,
- L is (R.sup.1).sub.3 P, and R.sup.1 is alkyl or aryl,
- R.sup.2 is CH.sub.3 or phenyl, and
- X.sup.2 is Br or I.
- 10. The process of claim 9 wherein said iodoamine is selected from the group consisting of ##STR9##
