| Abstract: | Polymer supported materials are extensively used as oxidizing agent, reducing agent catalysts, photosensitizers ion exchange resins and agriculturally and pharmacologically active agents1. The application of polymer metal complexes has been widely investigated2. The polymer supported complex undergoes swelling in a suitable solvent medium and provides enough surface area in carrying out electron transfer reactions, which clearly emphasizes the influence of a polymer network in heterogeneous catalysis.In the present, we have succeeded in the grafting of "dendrimer-like" hyperbranched polymer onto the surface of chloromethyl polystyrene reactions.All the catalysts show promising catalytic activities for the oxidation of iso-propylbenzene in the mild reaction condition, in each case, hypnone 1, 2-phenyl-2-propanol 2 were obtained as the major products |
