Increase in reaction rate consequent on the use of a polymer-supported reagent. Evidence for interaction between a high proportion of the groups of a polymer-supported reagent

Abstract

The conversion of alcohols into alkyl chlorides and of acids into acid chlorides by aryl phosphines and carbon tetrachloride proceeds more rapidly when the phosphine is polymer-supported; in these reactions, the main pathway appears to involve two phosphorus-containing residues on the polymer reacting together.
