ABSTRACT:
In a reaction for introducing chloromethyl groups into an aromatic crosslinked copolymer by reacting chloromethyl methyl ether to the aromatic crosslinked copolymer in the presence of a chloromethylation reaction catalyst, a method for recovering chloromethyl methyl ether from the reaction mixture, which comprises the following steps 1) a step of adding to the reaction mixture an aqueous acid solution which is capable of dissolving the chloromethylation reaction catalyst without decomposing chloromethyl methyl ether, and an extraction solvent which is inert to and miscible with chloromethyl methyl ether and which is capable of swelling the chloromethylated aromatic crosslinked copolymer, 2) a step of contacting hydrogen chloride gas to the reaction mixture and the extract solution from the step 1 to convert decomposition products of chloromethyl methyl ether, to chloromethyl methyl ether, 3) a step of separating the resulting mixture from the step 2 into an extraction solvent layer containing chloromethyl methyl ether and an acid-containing aqueous layer, and 4) a step of separating the chloromethyl methyl ether from the extraction solvent layer separated in the step 3.
