Abstract

Polymers and copolymers of alkenyl aromatic compounds containing in chemically combined form at least 50 per cent of at least one monoalkenyl aromatic compound that contains a vinyl or isopropenyl radical are catalytically halomethylated by treatment at a temperature of - 10 DEG to 125 DEG C. with a halomethylating agent such as methylene chloride, bromide or bromo-chloride, chlormethyl methyl ether, bromomethyl methyl ether, alpha, alpha1-dichlorodimethyl ether, alpha, alpha1-dibromodimethyl ether, mixtures of hydrogen chloride and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde, and mixtures of hydrogen iodide, paraformaldehyde, and an acid, the reaction being carried out in the presence of a solvent or swelling agent for the polymer such as the halomethylating agent, trioxane, carbon bisulphide and tetrachloroethylene; the halomethylating agent is employed in amount at least as great as that required to introduce into the polymer molecule at least one halomethyl group per ten aromatic nuclei. Polymers specified are those derived from one or more of styrene, alpha methyl styrene, nuclear chlorostyrenes, vinyl toluenes, vinyl xylene, vinyl naphthalenes and nuclear ethyl vinyl benzenes, and copolymers of these with butadiene, isoprene, 2,3-dimethyl butadiene, divinyl benzene and diallyl maleate. Suitable catalysts for the halomethylation reaction are zinc, iron, tin, and aluminium metals, zinc oxide, chloride and bromide, stannic chloride, aluminium chloride and bromide, ferric chloride and antimony pentachloride. The halomethylation reaction may be carried out in the presence of porous bodies such as earth or sandy formations in order to seal them, or the halomethylated resins may be treated with ammonia and amines such as trimethylamine which replace halogen atoms to provide anion exchange resins.ALSO:The dimers, trimers, and tetramers of styrene, and the dimers and trimers of alpha methyl styrene and nuclear chlorostyrenes are catalytically halomethylated by treatment at a temperature of -10 DEG to 125 DEG C. with a halomethylating agent such as methylene chloride, bromide, and chloro-bromide, chloromethyl methyl ether, bromomethyl methyl ether, alpha, alpha1 dichlorodimethyl ether, alpha, alpha1 dibromodimethyl ether, mixtures of hydrogen chloride and formaldehyde, and mixtures of hydrogen iodide, paraformaldehyde, and an acid, the reaction being carried out in the present of a solvent such as carbon bisulphide or tetrachloroethylene; the halomethylating agent is employed in amount at least as great as that required to introduce into the starting material at least one halomethyl group per ten aromatic nuclei. Suitable catalysts for the halomethylation reaction are zinc, iron, tin, and aluminium metals, zinc oxide, chloride, and bromide, stannic chloride, antimony pentachloride, aluminium chloride and bromide and ferric chloride.
