Synthetic methods for the preparation of polystyrene resins containing chiral polyamine chains

1998

Abstract The preparation of functionalized polystyrene-divinylbenzene resins containing functional groups derived from polyamine aliphatic chains has been studied. Best results are always obtained by direct alkylation of the polyamine with Merrifield's polymers, but double alkylation at both end of the polyamine is observed. The procedure is useful for the preparation of polymer containing different chiral and non-chiral polyamine functionalities.
