Abstract

Initial studies on the preparation of cheap polymers suitable for the preparation of solid- supported metal catalysts and as solid supports for amino acids are described. The starting chloromethylated polystyrene resins (Merrifield type) were prepared using a reported procedure via the chlorination of a cheap polymer, poly (m-/p-methylstyrene). Convenient techniques are described for the analysis of the resins prepared. The preparations of ...
