Abstract
Polymers of ethylene methacrylate, toluene-, and benzenesulfonate are shown to be strongalkylating agents. Their polymer-analogous reaction with most nucleophiles proceeds smoothly under conditions comparable to those of low molecular analogs. The nucleophiles used successfully were of the nitrogen type: amines, pyridine, phthalimidate, azide; or oxygen: alkoxide, phenolate, carboxylate; sulfur: thioacetate, thiocyanate, thiourea; and other types: iodide. Further reaction of some of these derivatives, e.g., hydrolysis to thiol or amine, proceeds as expected.
