Imide derivatives are associated with various uses both in biology[1] and synthetic chemistry[2]. For example, maleimides are important constituents of peptide-conjugate haptens[3], antibody-antibody c conjugates[4], immuno conjugates[5], enzyme inhibitors and enzyme probes[6]. Also these are good Michael acceptors and Diels-Alder dienophiles[7]. It is not surprising therefore, that preparation procedures for these compounds are in great ...
