Abstract

Ferrocene tagged functional polymer was synthesized by exploiting the propensity of the Merrifield resin to undergo quaternization with N-ferrocenylmethyl benzimidazole followed by subsequent anion metathesis reaction. The synthesized polymer when employed as a solid-phase reagent for O-demethylation of aryl methyl ethers, showed TON in the range of 7373–8930 and TOF in the range of 279–494h− 1.
