Reaction Steps

Following the general procedure of Example I, 150 mmols of maleic anhydride were reacted with 25 mmols of distilled aniline in 60 mL of acetonitrile and in the presence of 38 mmols of concentrated HCl and 2.5 mmols of cuprous oxide. The process resulted in a 29.2% yield of 3-phenylmaleic anhydride.
