Abstract
N-(4'-benzyl)phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide model compound has b een synthesized and its thermal reaction mechanism studied. The produc ts of the N-(4'-benzyl)phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI) the rmal treatment have been analysed by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance, s ize exclusion chromatography and liquid secondary ion mass spectrometr y. According to quantitative analysis (column chromatography), only 50 % of the reaction products are oligomerization products. Competitive i somerization (20%) and disproportionation (5%) reactions were evidence d. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
