Abstract

In neutral aqueous acetonitrile, N- o -hydroxybenzyl-2,3-dimethylmaleamic acid is rapidly converted to N- o -hydroxybenzyl-2,3-dimethylmaleimide, while N-propyl-N- o -hydroxybenzyl-2,3-dimethylmaleamic acid is converted to dimethylmaleic anhydride; both reactions are catalyzed by the phenolic groups.
