Thermal stability

The thermal stability is determined by Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC). The measurements are carried out in a Mettler Toledo®DSC 30 maschine. Approx. 10 mg of the compound of EXAMPLE A-6 is weighted into a standard DSC aluminum pan (40 microliter). The pan is sealed with an aluminium lid and punctured with a fine needle. Then, the pan is inserted in the oven and kept under nitrogen during the experiment. The thermal behaviour of the test sample is recorded in the temperature range of 30-500° C. using a heating rate of 10° C./min. The experimental data are analyzed using Mettler Toledo® STARe software (V 9.01) to determine the onset temperature of the sample decomposition.
