Patent ID: 7351838

Claim:
A compound according to Formula II: wherein X 2 is a substrate-reactive functional group selected from a carboxy, halocarbonyl, halocarbonyloxy, cyano, hydroxy, mercapto, isocyanato, halosilyl, alkoxysilyl, acyloxysilyl, azido, aziridinyl, haloalkyl, disulfide, alkyl disulfide, benzotriazolyl, phosphono, phosphoroamido, or phosphato; R 4 and R 5 together with a dicarboximide group to which they are attached form a four to eight membered heterocyclic or heterobicyclic group that can be fused to an optional aromatic group, optional saturated or unsaturated cyclic group, or optional saturated or unsaturated bicyclic group, wherein the heterocyclic or heterobicyclic group has a single heteroatom and the single heteroatom is the nitrogen atom of the dicarboximide group; Y 2 is a single bond or a divalent group selected from an alkylene, heteroalkylene, arylene, carbonyl, carbonyloxy, carbonylimino, oxy, thio, —NR d — where R d is hydrogen or alkyl, or combinations thereof; R 3 is an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or —NR b R c wherein R b and R c are each an alkyl group or taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a four to eight membered heterocyclic group; r is equal to 1 when X 2 is monovalent or equal to 2 when X 2 is a divalent group; and said compound is unsubstituted or substituted with a halo, alkyl, alkoxy, or combinations thereof.
