In a reactor, 50 ml of dimethylformamide and 21.6 g (0.22 moles) of maleic anhydride were placed, to which were gradually added 21.8 g (0.20 moles) of p-aminophenol at 20° C. with thorough stirring. After completion of the addition, the reaction was allowed to proceed at 20° C. for 2 hours to yield N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)maleamic acid. To the reaction mixture, a previously formed solution containing 70 ml of dimethylformamide, 11.4 g (0.0803 moles) of phosphorus pentoxide and 5 g (0.049 moles) of sulfuric acid, was added dropwise with the use of a dropping funnel. Thereafter, the reaction was continued at 70° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting reaction mixture was poured into 400 ml of ice water to precipitate N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide in the form of crystals. The crystals were separated by filtration, washed with water and then dried to obtain 31.3 g (0.165 moles) of N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide (yield 82.5%).
