Abstract
AbstractPolystyrene supported TiCl4 (Ps‐TiCl4) and polystyrene supported FeCl3 (Ps‐FeCl3) were prepared by coordinating Lewis acids with polystyrene. The catalysts were characterized by TGA, BET, SEM, IR and pyridine‐adsorbed IR. The loading of Ps‐TiCl4 and Ps‐FeCl3 were 0.35 and 0.3 mmol·g−1 respectively. Both catalysts were found to be efficient for the tetrahydropyranylation and detetrahydropyranylation of various alcohols and phenols in different solvents. Two catalysts can be recovered and reused for five times with good activity.
