(R)-(+)-N-(1-PHENYLETHYL)MALEIMIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

This optically active maleimide undergoes radical copolymerization with styrene to yield a ~1:1 copolymer (~98%). Vinyl copolymers with asymmetric main chains can be used as nonlinear optical materials. Dienophile for diastereoselective Diels-Alder reactions.
