Reaktionsschritte

Protected-maleimide functional initiator was synthesized by following literature.4 Maleic anhydride (10.0 g, 0.1 mol) was suspended in 30 mL of toluene and the mixture warmed to 80° C. Furan (11.3 mL, 0.15 mol) was added via syringe and the turbid solution was stirred for overnight. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature white solids formed during standing were collected by filtration and washed with 2×30 mL of diethyl ether afforded 3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-epoxyisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (1) as white needless. Yield: 12.35 g (74%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3, δ) 6.55 (s, 2H, CH═CH, bridge protons), 5.45 (s, 2H, —CHO, bridge-head protons), 3.15 (s, 2H, CH—CH, bridge protons). 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ): 169.9, 137.0, 82.2, 48.7.
