Abstract

An optically active polymer containing oxime groups was prepared by partial quaternization of a copolymer of 4-vinyl pyridine and (+)(S)-4-methyl-1-hexen-3-one, with phenacyl bromide and subsequent reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. This polymer was used as a catalyst for the esterolysis of esters of p-nitrophenol with aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids characterized by different steric and hydrophobic features. The detailed evaluation of kinetic parameters permitted identification of the main factors responsible for the catalytic behaviour.
