Abstract

Owing to the widespread occurrence of this structural motif, efficient means for the chemical synthesis of imides is of continuing interest. Traditionally, the syntheses of imides have relied primarily on heating dicarboxylic acids (or anhydrides) with an amine and acylation of an amide. 8 Recently, a straightforward synthesis of imides has been achieved via the oxidation of amides. 9 However, in contrast to the plethora of methods available for the oxidation of ...
