Reaction Steps

125 g (1.36 moles) of toluene and 13.3 g (0.136 moles) of maleic anhydride were weighed into a 300 ml Parr reactor. The reactor was heated to 180° C. then pressurized to 60 psi with air to initiate maleic anhydride free radical formation. The solution was stirred at 180° C. for 4 hr. The reactor was cooled to room temperature, and then the contents were transferred to a round bottom flask. The toluene and maleic anhydride were removed with a rotary evaporator. Weight of residue was 1.4 g.
