Reaktionsschritte

Trimellitic acid anhydride chloride (50 g, 0.240 mol) is dissolved in 150 mL acetone in a 3-neck flask under nitrogen. The flask is cooled in an ice bath. A solution of AFM-caprolactone intermediate (82.05 g, 0.12 mol), and pyridine (19.0 g, 0.240 mol) in 80 ml of acetone is added slowly through a dropping funnel while continuously stirring the cold solution. After addition is completed, the flask contents are continuously stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Water (4.32 g, 0.240 mol) is added and the solution is stirred continuously at room temperature overnight. The solids formed are removed by vacuum filtration and washed with acetone. The filtrate is concentrated and dried to yield the product
