Abstract

Summary Glycidyl methacrylate based terpolymer resin was prepared in spherical beads form by suspension polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (0.4mol)-methyl methylacrylate (0.5mol)-divinyl benzene (0.1mol) mixture. Acid catalysed reaction of the resin beads (110-220 µm) with excess of glycerol gives corresponding modified resin with hydroxyl functions (6.86 mmol g -1 ). Upon standing in 2 M HNO 2 solution, hydroxyl groups of the later esterified with nitrous acid (3.55 mmol g -1 ). The nitrite ester functions of the resin have been demonstrated to be efficient nitrous acid precurser in diazotisation of aromatic amines. Diazotisation of aniline in 2 M HC1 solutions at O°C takes place in less than 15 minutes. Applicability and pratical yields of the method presented have been investigated by diazo coupling reaction of s- naphthol.
