Patent ID: 8329377

Claim:
An imide compound represented by the formula (I): wherein R 1 represents a C1-C20 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, a C5-C10 aryl group or a C6-C20 aralkyl group, and the C1-C20 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, the C5-C10 aryl group and the C6-C20 aralkyl group may have one or more substituents and one or more heteroatoms, W 1 represents —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —CH 2 O—, —O—CH 2 —, —CH 2 O—CO— or —CO—OCH 2 —, Q 1 and Q 2 each independently represent a fluorine atom, a C1-C6 alkyl group or a C1-C6 perfluoroalkyl group, and A represents a group represented by the formula (I-1): wherein A 1 represents —CH 2 —CH 2 —, —CH 2 —CH 2 —CH 2 —, —CH═CH— or —CH═CH—CH 2 —, in which one or more hydrogen atoms may be substituted with a C1-C6 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, a C3-C12 alicyclic hydrocarbon group or a C6-C10 aromatic hydrocarbon group, and the neighboring substituents may be bonded each other to form a ring, and the C1-C6 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, the C3-C12 alicyclic hydrocarbon group and the C6-C10 aromatic hydrocarbon group may have one or more substituents and one or more heteroatoms.
