Polymeric dicyanoketene acetals (DCKA) were synthesized by copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene or ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. These novel polymers could be used successfully as recyclable p-acid catalysts in monothioacetalization or carbon-arbon bond forming reaction of acetals.
Key words polymeric dicyanoketene acetal; p-acid; recyclable catalyst; monothioacetalization; carbon-arbon bond formation
