Abstract

The alkylation of several macroreticular type polystyrenes with substituted benzyl chloride (2a-e, 4c, 5, and 7b) and benzyl alcohol compounds (4a and 7a) was investigated under various reaction conditions in order to obtain functionalized polymers. In parallel, the alkylation of toluene as a model compound was studied. It was found that the alkylation depends on the following factors:(1) catalyst concentration-higher than 0.18 M ...
