Poly(P-N-Chlorostyrenesulphonamide): A New and Efficient Chlorinating Agent for Aromatic Rings

Abstract

Poly(p-N-chlorostyrenesulphonamide) synthesized via direct chlorination of poly[(p-styrene) sulphonamide], can be used for selective chlorination of aromatic compounds. Aromatic rings of the anisole, p-xylene, ethylbenzene and toluene are chlorinated with good yields. The polymer can be recovery, rechlorinated and reused several times.
