Imide group is an interesting functionality, due to its wide presence in the natural products and in the pharmacologically active compounds. This has attracted chemists’ attention as a target to be prepared by microwave irradiation. Since polar reactants can absorb the microwave irradiation, thus chemists can utilize the microwave oven for some organic reactions. N-Alkyl amides (with methylene CH2 group adjacent to NH function of amide bond) and lactams, which need not be N-substituted, can be converted to imides by oxidation with a hydroperoxide and transition metal salts. It was reported that a rapid, selective and good yield conversion of the amides to imides by using t-buthyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) and manganese(III) acetyl- acetonate [Mn(acac)3] in ethyl acetate under microwave irradiation (90 W, 5 min).

Key words: manganic(III), second order imide, t-buthyl hydroperoxide, microwave irradiation, oxidation
