Abstract
A process of preparing a N-substituted imide as disclosed, which is carried out in accordance with the equation: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl radical containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or an aryl radical having 1 or 2 phenyl rings bearing up to 5 substituents selected from the group consisting of 1 to 3 atoms of halogen, 1 to 2 nitro, amino, or hydroxy groups, 1 to 4 alkyl radicals, and 1 to 2 alkoxy or alkylthiol radicals each containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a hexyl radical, optionally substituted; PA1 R' is a single bond or a hydrocarbon chain containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in which two contiguous carbons may belong to a phenyl ring, said hydrocarbon chain being saturated or unsaturated and optionally substituted and PA1 R" is a hydrogen atom, an alkaline metal atom, an ammonium atom or a lower alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, wherein the cyclization of the amic acid, R--NH--CO--R'--COOR" is carried out in the presence of a mixed catalyst which results from the association of the formula, A B, in which A is a strong inorganic or organic acid and B is a Lewis base.
