Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the present work was to identify and follow the main and side reactions involved in the ring dehydration of amic acid prepared from “bridged” dianhydrides whose central substituent is an electron acceptor or donor, and an aromatic diamine. Several isomeric structures may appear as a result of the opening reactivity and selectivity of anhydride groups towards the aromatic amine. Reaction mechanisms and kinetics were thus studied in solvent phase with HPLC and 13C‐NMR and in solid molten phase by FTIR and solid 13C‐NMR. The experimental conditions (liquid and solid) and the structure of the products (type of central substituent) affecting the mechanisms and kinetics of the reactions were noted. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
