Abstract:
Summary N-substituted imides (RSIs) were synthesized from the reactions of alkylbromides (RX) and potassium salts of imides (KSIs) under
solid-liquid phase-transfer catalytic conditions (SL-PTC). No water is required in the reaction system. In this work, serious
hydration of KSIs is avoided using SL-PTC to synthesize RSIs. The reaction catalyzed by quaternary ammonium salts is greatly
enhanced in the solid-liquid solution
