A minimalist furan-maleimide AB-type monomer and its thermally reversible Diels-Alder polymerization

The present study reports an easy and direct route for the synthesis of highly pure 2-furfurylmaleimide, a minimalist furan-maleimide AB-type monomer, which was used for the preparation of a rigid thermally reversible polymer based on the Diels-Alder reaction. This strategy has high potential for th...

Description
Summary:The present study reports an easy and direct route for the synthesis of highly pure 2-furfurylmaleimide, a minimalist furan-maleimide AB-type monomer, which was used for the preparation of a rigid thermally reversible polymer based on the Diels-Alder reaction. This strategy has high potential for the development of novel polymers and copolymers mainly derived from renewable resources. An original approach to prepare and polymerize the shortest Diels-Alder AB monomer.
