    Abstract: of the Invention A process for the preparation of aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids by reacting alkali metal salts of phenol with carbon dioxide in organic phosphine oxides containing straight or branched alkyl groups having from 1 to B carbon atoms or phenyl groups. By this process, p-hydroxybenzoic can be obtained in a high yield. The product is useful as an antiseptic and also as an intermediate of a variety of agricultural, pharmaceutical or polymer chemicals.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid rich in p- hydroxybenzoic acid by subjecting an alkali metal salt of phenol and carbon dioxide to carboxylation reaction by using an organic phosphine oxide as a solvent. CONSTITUTION:One of a mixture of an organic phosphine oxide shown by the formula (R1-R3 are 1-8C straight-chain or branched alkyl or phenyl) is used as a solvent, an alkali metal salt of phenol is reacted with carbon dioxide to give an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid rich in p-hydroxybenzoic acid. For example, trimethylphosphine oxide or triethylphosphine oxide may be cited as the organic phosphine oxide. By using the solvent, the reaction can be carried out in the same selectivity even in the case of sodium salt of the alkali metal salt of phenol as in the calcium salt and is economically advantageous. The aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid is useful as an antiseptic, intermediate for agricultural chemical and drugs and a raw material for polyester.
