Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

30 g of poly(p-hydroxystyrene) (VP2500) produced by Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. was dissolved in 150 mL of DMSO, and 4.41 g of 1-chloromethylnaphthalene, 34.51 g of potassium carbonate and 0.56 g of sodium iodide were added thereto. The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours, and the reaction solution was returned to room temperature. Subsequently, 6.65 g of α-chlorobenzyl methyl ether was added dropwise thereto and after stirring at room temperature for 3 hours, 3.40 g of butanesultone was added dropwise. The reaction solution was further stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, and 100 mL of ethyl acetate and 100 mL of distilled water were added thereto. Thereafter, 130 g of an aqueous 21 mass % ammonium chloride solution was little by little added to the reaction solution while stirring the reaction solution in ice water. The reaction solution was transferred to a separating funnel, and 100 mL of ethyl acetate and 100 mL of distilled water were further added. After stirring, the aqueous layer was removed, and the organic layer was washed with 200 mL of distilled water five times. The organic layer was then concentrated to about 150 mL and added dropwise in 2 L of hexane. The obtained precipitate was dissolved in a methanol:THF mixed solution, and 7.50 g of triphenylsulfonium bromide was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, diluted with 300 mL of ethyl acetate, and washed with 300 mL of distilled water five times. The organic layer was concentrated and dissolved in 70 g of PGMEA, and the low boiling point solvent was then removed by an evaporator to obtain 108.2 g of a PGMEA solution (32.5 mass %) of Resin (P-7).
