Reaction Steps

A solution of polymer in a suitable solvent (nitroethane, dichloromethane, chloroform) was treated with 4-nitro benzoyl chloride (1 eq) and aluminium chloride (1.2 eq). The solution was stirred at room temperature or at 40° C. then quenched with water. The organic layer was collected and washed with 1M HCl and 1M NaOH solutions sequentially. Concentration of the organic layer yielded the product.
