38. The product of this reaction is not the expected tetraamide but rather the depicted diimide.
39. The effect of substituents on the bridging xylylene rings and the nature of the solubilizing groups on the convex face of the molecule clearly have a dramatic effect on the dimerization reaction. We have conducted many experiments designed to address this issue but have not yet achieved a complete understanding of the scope and limitations of this reaction. We will report the results of our investigations in a full paper on this subject.
