A series of solid-state reactions is reported of gaseous or solid amines with aldehydes to give imines, with solid anhydrides to give diamides (therefrom imides) or amidic carboxylic salts or imides, with solid imides to give diamides, with solid lactones or carbonates to give functionalized carbamic esters, with polycarbonates to give degradative aminolysis, and with solid isothiocyanates to give thioureas. Diamides give imides by solid-state thermolysis or ...
