Abstract

Monoamides of 2, 3-endo-cis-5-norborene dicarboxylic acid (compounds 1-5) were prepared by addition of primary alkyl amines (n-propyl-, 2-methoxyethyl-, 2-fluoroethyl-, 2, 2- difluoroethyl-, 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl-) to 2, 3-endo-cis-5-norborene dicarboxylic anhydride. The rates of hydrolysis of each compound in solutions whose acid concentration ranged from 0.01 M to 9 M were determined. Rates increase with acidity above 0.1 M until a ...
