Abstract

Polystyrene grafted polypropylene MicroTubeTM reactors (length× OD, 25× 5 mm) have been functionalized with chloromethyl groups (Merrifield-type) using chloromethyl methyl ether and Lewis acid catalysts. A potentiometric method using a chloride ion selective electrode has been developed to measure the loading of the Merrifield MicroTubeTM reactors. A typical loading of 25–35 μmol/tube for Merrifield MicroTubeTM reactors has ...
