Notes:
A general synthetic method and characterization of bis(ether anhydride)s, the ether containing aromatic dianhydrides of the following structure, are presented. The method involves aromatic nitro-displacement of N-substituted 3- or 4-nitrophthalimide with bisphenoxides to form N-substituted arylene-bis(phthalimido)ethers or bis(ether imide)s. Sixteen structurally different bis(ether imide)s have been prepared and subsequently converted to the corresponding bis(ether anhydride)s. Bis(ether anhydride)s are stable crystalline compounds of a moderate reactivity. Unlike highly reactive dianydrides such as pyromellitic and benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydrides bis(ether anhydride)s are semipermanently stable against hydrolysis in the presence of atmospheric moisture.
