Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.54.1269

The hydrolysis of N,N'-dialkyl-3,4:9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide) (alkyl = CH3, CH2CH3, CH2CH2CH3, and CH2CH2CH2CH3) with sulfuric acid at 180 - 200 deg C gave N-alkyl-3,4:9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic monoanhydride monoimide (alkyl = CH3, CH2CH3, CH2CH2CH3, and CH2CH2CH2CH3).The kinetics of the reaction were determined spectroscopically.
