    Abstract: Compounds of the 1,4-bis-(styryl)-benzene series are prepared by reacting a benzylphosphonic acid which is not substituted in paraposition by a free or esterified carboxylic acid group and whose carbon atom attached to the phosphorus atom bears at least one hydrogen atom, or an ester of the same, with a 1,4-diacylbenzene (acyl includes -CHO) in the presence of a proton acceptor. An inert solvent, especially a polar solvent, may be used. The phosphonic compound may be of formula where R, R1, R2 and R3 may be hydrogen, aliphatic groups, especially alkyl, halogen, free, esterified or etherified hydroxy, sulphonic acid, sulphonic acid amide, nitrile, carboxylic amide, or, except for R, free or esterified carboxylic groups. R and R1, R and R2 or R and R3 may also be members of 5- or 6-membered cyclic diethers annellated with the benzene ring through the oxygen atoms, the carbon atoms in the ether rings being substituted if desired. R4, R5 and R6 may be hydrogen or aliphatic, especially alkyl, groups; R5 and R6 may also be aryl or may be linked in a ring with the phosphorus. The benzene ring may form part of a naphthalene system. Carboxylic amide groups may be N-substituted, e.g. by C1-6 alkyl or by alkylene completing a ring with the nitrogen. The diacylbenzenes may be of formula where R7, R8 and R9 may be hydrogen, or aliphatic or araliphatic, especially alkyl, groups. R7 and R8 may also be halogen, free, etherified or esterified hydroxy, or sulphonic acid groups. The bis-(styryl)-benzenes may be of use as optical bleaches for synthetic and natural macromolecular substances, and as light protective agents, stabilizers, pesticides and dyes. Examples describe the preparation of: 1,4-bis-(31,41-methylenedioxystyryl)benzene; 1,4-bis-(m- and p-cyanostyryl)benzenes; 1,4-bis - (p - methoxystyryl)benzene; 1,4-bis-(31,41-dichlorostyryl)benzene; 1,4-bis(p-chlorostyryl) benzene; 1,4-bis(21,41-dichlorostyryl)benzene; and 1,4-distyryl-2,5-dichlorobenzene. The diethyl esters of the following benzylphosphonic acids are prepared as starting materials from triethyl phosphite and appropriate benzyl halides: 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl; m- and p-cyanobenzyl; p-methoxy-benzyl; 3,4-dichlorobenzyl; p-chlorobenzyl; and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl phosphonic acids.

    Abstract: A macromolecular organic substance contains for the homogeneous optical brightening thereof at least one compound of the 1,4-bis-styryl benzene series having the general formula in which R1 and R11 denote carboxyl groups carboxylic acid ester or amide groups or nitrile groups, R2 and R3 denote hydrogen, halogens, alkyl groups, aralkyl groups or alkoxy groups, and in which R1 and R11 may be identical or different and symmetrically or unsymmetrically attached to the benzene rings, and R2 and R3 may be identical or different. Specified macromolecular substances are polyamides, polyesters, aminoplasts, rubbers, regenerated cellulose, polymers and copolymers of styrene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, butadiene, acrylamide and acrylonitrile, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene and polyformaldehyde.
