  • Patent number: 11958806
    Abstract: An object is to provide a method for easily producing maleimide (MI) in which trace amounts of residual acid components as impurities in a crude MI are efficiently reduced, that is, the acid value is sufficiently reduced. <1> A method for producing purified MI, comprising reducing an acid value of crude MI by 50% or more, by adding carbodiimide (CDI) to a solution comprising the crude MI to react an acid component in the crude MI with the CDI. <2> The method for producing purified MI, comprising adding 0.5% by mass or more and 8% by mass or less of the CDI with respect to a mass of the crude MI for reaction. <3> The method for producing purified MI, wherein the CDI is N,N?-diisopropyl carbodiimide (DIC). <4> The method for producing purified MI, comprising removing a urea derivative of the CDI (CDI-U) by-produced when reacting the acid component in the crude MI with the CDI.

  • Patent number: 11104643
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a bismaleimide (D-BMI) modified product in which an amino group of dimer diamine (DDA) is maleimidized, which has the good heat resistance, and has the sufficiently enhanced processability, and a method for producing the same. There are provided: <1> A bismaleimide (D-BMI) modified product in which an amino group of dimer diamine is maleimidized, the bismaleimide modified product having the following characteristics: 1) An acid value of the D-BMI modified product is 2 mg-KOH/g or less. 2) In 1H-NMR, when quantitative comparison is performed using an integrated value (A) of a peak corresponding to a proton of a methylene group directly bound to a nitrogen atom of a maleimide group and an integrated value (B) of a peak corresponding to a vinyl proton of a maleimide group, A/B is 1.25 or more and 2.00 or less.
