Abstract

Abstract: The reaction of pstyrylmagnesium bromide with norbomenone gave syn-and anti-7- hydroxy-7-(p-styryl) norborn-2-ene (6) which could be converted to either the syn-and anti-7- methoxy derivative (8) or anti-7-chloro-7-@-styryl) norborn-2-ene (7). Both styryl monomers 7 and 8 were copolymerized with styrene and divinyl benzene to give polymers (9) containing 10 mol% of 7-substituted norbornyl derivatives. Treatment of the 7-chloro ...
