Renewable resources, 2. Poly-Diels-Alder additions with disorboylamides as bisdienes and a dimaleoylamide as bisdienophile

Abstract

The poly-Diels-Alder reactions between the disorboylamides 1 and 7 and the dimaleoylamide 9, yielding the oligomers 13 and 14, are described. The applicability of the maleoyl and the sorboyl system for poly-Diels-Alder additions is demonstrated in a low-molecular-weight model cycloaddition between the monodiene 10 and the monodienophile 11. All presented compounds contain a high amount of molecules derived from renewable resources.
