Notes:
The Friedel-Crafts acylation of various crosslinked polystyrenes, both microporous and macroporous, by ω-halogenoacyl chlorides, a reaction used by others to functionalise polystyrenes, was carefully investigated. As judged by elemental analyses, the desired reaction to give ω-halogenoacyl residues is always accompanied by side reactions. Infrared spectroscopy indicates that these include crosslinking and the introduction of carboxylic acid groups. The side reactions are less pronounced with the ω-chloro compounds and with the 2% crosslinked microporous polymer. For many applications these side reactions will not be important, but in some cases an awareness of their occurrence could be crucial.
