Reaction Steps

In dimethylacetamide, 98 g of maleic anhydride was reacted with 135 g of p-aminoacetophenone at 140° C. for 4 hours. After the reaction, methyl alcohol was added to the reaction solution to precipitate a solid. The precipitate was recovered by filtration and dried in vacuo to obtain 139 g (a yield of 65%) of p-maleimidoacetophenone.
