Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the suspension of poly(4-methylpyridine) (2.24 g, 2 eq) in newly dried dichloromethane (25 mL ) at 0° C. was added trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (5 g, 1 eq) drop wise over 30 mins. Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate (2.76 g, 0.95 eq) was then added in drop wise via a syringe. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 hrs and the polymer was filtered off by a frit. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure (without heating) and the crude product was subjected to a short silica gel pad with 1:4 (v/v) diethyl ether/hexane as the eluent solvent. The solvent was evaporated (without heating) and the product was used directly in the following step. (3.9 g, 75% yield based on ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate.) See FIG. 10.
