Dr Amy Smith
West Virginia State University
Substituent Effects of Anilines in the Microwave Induced
Cyclization with Maleic Anhydride
Lab Analysis for a technique reduces the reaction time for the traditional synthesis of several hours, which allows the preparation to be achieved in a single organic chemistry laboratory period. This reaction is performed in the absence of solvent; therefore, it represents a ‘greener’ preparation than the traditional synthesis of N-phenylsuccinimide and N-phenylmaleimide because it avoids the waste associated with using organic solvents.
