Reaction Steps

0.78 g (1.71 mmol, 1 eq.) of freshly prepared (4-vinylbenzyl)-bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine (example 1) and 1.8 mL (1.6 g, 15.4 mmol, 9 eq.) styrene are dissolved in 0.6 mL toluene. 47.6 mg (2% w/w) AIBN are added and the solution is stirred at 60° C. for 50 hours. 5 ml Toluene are subsequently added to the yellow gel which is formed in order to dissolve the polymer. The polymer is then precipitated by the addition of petroleum ether. This procedure is repeated twice before the polymer is filtrated off and washed with petroleum ether. The polymer is dried under vacuum providing 2.121 g of the (4-vinylbenzyl)-bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine/styrene co-polymer. Conversion: 87.4%.
