Abstract
Abstract The title compounds are of the formula P --O--R-- n R') m wherein: P is a polymer matrix of sufficient structure and molecular weight so as to be substantially water- and hydrocarbon-insoluble; R is --CH 2 CH 2 O--, --CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O--, ##STR1## --CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O- or a combination thereof; R' is hydrogen, hydrocarbyl or inertly-substituted hydrocarbyl; n is an integer of 3 to about 40; and m is a real number such that the weight percent of --O--R-- n R') groups is at least about 1 percent of the total weight of the compound. A representative example of these compounds is the reaction product of a poly(ethyleneglycol ether) having a weight average molecular weight of about 300 and a chloromethylated polystyrene resin. These polymer-supported poly (alkyleneglycol ethers) are useful phase-transfer catalysts for a wide variety of reactions, such as alkylation, displacement and carbene formation.
