Bis(4-(3,4-dimethylenepyrrolidyl)-phenyl) methane

It is the primary object of the present invention to prepare high temperature polymeric materials, especially linear aromatic polyimides, which maintain their integrity and toughness during long exposure times at elevated temperatures. According to the present invention, this object is achieved, and the attending benefits are obtained, by first providing the bis(exocyclodiene) bis(4-(3,4-dinethylene pyrrolidyl) phenyl) methane, which is formed from the monomer N-phenyl 3,4-dimethylene pyrrolidine. This bis-(exocyclodiene) undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with a bismaleimide without the evolution of gaseous by-products, to form the aromatic polyimide

Polyimide from bis(n-isoprenyl)s of aryl diamides

A process and polyimide product formed by the reaction of a bismaleimide with a bis(amidediene) is disclosed wherein the bis(amidediene) is formed by reacting an excess of an acid chloride with 1,4-N,N'-diisoprenyl 2,3,5,6-tetramethy1 benzene

Preparation of bis(4-(3,4 dimethylene pyrrolidyl) phenyl) methane as a high temperature reactive oligomer

A major goal in the field of high temperature polymers was to prepare aromatic polyimides that can be easily fabricated with the required thermal and physical properties for aerospace applications. Recent research was directed to achieve polyimides that are: soluable in a common organic solvent; melt-processable; and thermally curable without the evolution of volatile by-products. A monomer, N-phenyl 3,4-dimethylene pyrrolidine, that can be modified to form a bis (exocyclodiene) I for the preparation of polyimides by the Diels-Alder process was developed. Preparation of high temperature polymeric materials by Diels-Alder polymerization that will maintain their integrity and toughness during long exposure time at elevated temperature is sought
