Abstract

Abstract An aminimide possessing a benzoyl substituent, 1, 1-dimethyl-1-(2-hydroxypropyl) amine benzoylformimide (BFI), proved to serve as an excellent photobase catalyst. BFI decomposes smoothly by the UV irradiation to give products containing tertiary amines. The effective nature of BFI as a photo/thermal dual-base catalyst was convinced by the thermal and photoinduced polymerization of epoxide/thiol system. Based on the facts that the ...
