Rate of Formation of Industrial Lubricant Additive Precursors from Maleic Anhydride and Polyisobutylene
{{output}}
The Alder-ene reaction of neat polyisobutylene (PIB) and maleic anhydride (MAA) to produce the industrially important lubricant additive precursor polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) is studied at 150-180 °C. Under anaerobic conditions with [PIB] ∼ 1.... ...
