A polyetherimide having an OH content that is greater than 0 and equal or less than 100 ppm; a Relative Thermal Index that is greater than or equal to 170&#xb0; C.; and a chlorine content that is greater than 0 ppm is disclosed herein. A method for preparing the polyetherimide is also disclosed.

Chloro-substituted polyetherimides having improved relative thermal index

A one-step method for efficiently converting carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-carbon bonds using chloroarenes and palladium catalysts is disclosed. This method allows faster introduction of complex molecular entities, a process that would otherwise require many more steps. This invention is particularly relevant for the organic synthesis of complex molecules such as, but not limited to, pharmacophores.
