摘要:
A raw material used for producing heat-resistant resins of the present invention contains N-cyclohexyl maleimide containing 0.001 to 1 weight percent of cyclohexylamino succinic anhydride, as a principal component. Heat-resistant resins and the process for producing the heat-resistant resins of the present invention are achieved by polymerizing the raw material and at least one kind of monomer which is copolymerizable with the raw material. Therefore, the heat-resistant resins produced from the raw material have excellent transparency, i.e., a low coloring factor, even when higher heat resistance is imparted to the heat-resistant resins by increasing the amount of the raw material containing N-cyclohexyl maleimide as a principal component. Thus, the heat-resistant resins are suitably used in fields requiring heat resistance as well as a low coloring factor.
摘要:
A stabilized maleimide compound which is hardly discolored during storage, wherein the content of primary amines is 500 ppm or less, that of maleic anhydride is 5-2,000 ppm, and that of 2-amino-N-substituted succinimide is 300 ppm or less. It is preferable that the content of chlorine compounds be 10 ppm or less in terms of chlorine and that of volatile components having each a boiling point of 200 DEG C or below under an ordinary pressure be 2,000 ppm or less.
摘要:
A process for producing an N-unsubstituted maleimide by imidating an N-unsubstituted maleamic ester through elimination of alcohol molecule and ring closure, wherein use is made of an acidic catalyst or mono(cyclo)alkyl sulfate and it is preferable to lower the alcohol concentration in the reaction mixture. When maleamic acid is reacted with an alcohol by using an inert solvent and an acidic catalyst, a mixture of maleamic with an acidic catalyst, or a mono(cyclo)alkyl sulfate, a corresponding maleamic ester is obtained. Maleamic acid is produced by the reaction of maleic anhydride with ammonia in an inert solvent, which reaction is conducted by feeding a solution of maleic anhydride in an inert solvent into a reactor and feeding ammonia gas into an open space of the reactor to cause the ammonia to be absorbed in the solution via the surface of contact of the solution with the gas.
