Abstract
A crosslinked copolymer of styrene and 4-vinylpyridine (40-43% of monomer units) was reacted with hydrogen iodide to give a polymer containing pyridinium iodide residues. Reaction of this with chlorine in chloroform at 0° gave a polymer containing pyridinium tetrachloroiodate residues. In a similar manner but using methyl iodide in place of hydrogen iodide, crosslinked polymers containing N-methylpyridinium iodide and N-methylpyridinium tetrachloroiodate residues were prepared. The latter contained up to three chlorine molecules per iodine atom. Both reagents reacted with acetophenone, thus forming iodomethyl-phenyl ketone ( 4 ) and chloromethyl-phenyl ketone ( 5 ), the ratios depending on the reagent used and the reaction time. Chlorinations of 5,5-dimethyl cyclohexane-l,3-dione and indane-1,3-dione with polymer-supported reagent ( 2 ) resulted in the formation of geminal dichlorides in high yields.
