Abstract

The invention provides an aryl ethynyl phthalic acid and derivatives thereof (including fluorine-containing compounds) represented by Formulae 1, 3, 5, 4A and 5A including the structure of Formula 2, and method of producing these compounds, in which an aryl ethynyl phthalic anhydride is formed by subjecting an aryl phthalic acid to ring closing:

2. An aryl ethynyl phthalic acid diester compound, represented by the following Formula 3:

wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group or an aryl group; R 3 represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, an acyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a perfluoroalkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; n represents an integer of from 0 to 2; and when n represents 2, such that R 3 is present in plurality, each R 3 may be the same as or different from any other R 3 or linked thereto to form a ring.

3. A method for producing an aryl ethynyl phthalic anhydride represented by the following Formula 5, comprising:
