Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 2.6 g (0.015 mole) of N-phenyl isomaleimide in 50 ml of methylene chloride are added 0.00045 mole of the compounds of the formula III which are given below and 0.069 g (0.0006 mole) of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine. The reaction mixture is stirred for two hours at 20-25° C. and is subsequently extracted by being shaken twice with 100 ml of water each time and the solvent is then removed. The yields of N-phenyl maleimide are given in the following Table.
