Abstract
The Reaction of Phenols with N‐substituted MaleinimidesPhenoxysuccinimides are formed by the base catalysed addition of phenols to N‐substituted maleinimides. In the presence of catalytic amounts of tertiary aliphatic amines yields as high as 90% are obtained. A series of adducts of mono‐and di‐phenols to mono‐ and bismaleinimides is described. Pure phenoxysuccinimides are stable compounds but the basic catalysts of their formation give rise to their decomposition into the phenolic component and oligomeric maleinimide. A nucleophilic reaction mechanism both for the formation and the decomposition is discussed. A new crosslinked addition polymer from a diphenol and a bismaleinimide with a surprisingly high heat stability is described.
