ON SOME NEW OXIDATION-REDUCTION POLYMERS

Redox polymers are among the most well-documented polymer reagents, and tailored redox polymers are obtainable. The synthesis and the redox properties of some new silica-anchored quinones are described. A high redox reaction velocity was found with a modified pore-controlled glass. Polymer reagents with N-chlorobenzotriazole units were obtained from suitable benzotriazole derivatives or by polymer-analogous reactions starting from p-aminostyrene polymers. With these products chlorinations as well as mild oxidation reactions were performed with good yields. Reusability and mechanical properties were good.
