A process for producing reagents useful in organic synthesis, for removing metal values from solutions thereof, for the capture of aldehydes, of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Z designates a recurring part (CH.sub.2 --CH--CH.sub.2) of a polymeric backbone of a polymer like polystyrene, of a copolymer comprising polystyrene and divinylbenzene, and butadiene, or other copolymers comprising styrene moieties; or wherein Z is the aliphatic moiety of a long-chain aralkyl compound having a terminal aryl group; or wherein Z designates alkyl; corresponding compounds wherein instead of the optionally substituted phenyl group there is present an optionally substituted naphthyl group; wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 15, and wherein Q designates a group selected from: ##STR2## wherein R designates --H, lower alkyl, aryl, which may be substituted and wherein R' designates --H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, nitro or carboxy, or ##STR3## wherein R is --H, lower alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R.sub.1 is --H, alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R.sub.2 is --H, alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl, and wherein Y is --H or a non-interferring substituent, which comprises chemically binding an activated chemical moiety to a group ##STR4## or a corresponding naphthyl-containing group, wherein Z is as defined above, according to the reaction scheme: ##STR5## wherein Q is as defined above, or a functional group which can be converted to such group after the chemical bonding; and X is --Cl or --Br.

A process for producing reagents useful in organic synthesis, for removing metal values from solutions thereof, for the capture of aldehydes, of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Z designates a recurring part (CH.sub.2 --CH--CH.sub.2 -- of a polymeric backbone of a polymer like polystyrene, of a copolymer comprising polystyrene and divinylbenzene, and butadiene, or other copolymers comprising styrene moieties; or wherein Z is the aliphatic moiety of a long-chain aralkyl compound having a terminal aryl group; or wherein Z designates alkyl; corresponding compounds wherein instead of the optionally substituted phenyl group there is present an optionally substituted naphthyl group; wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 15, and wherein Q designates a group selected from: ##STR2## wherein R designates --H, lower alkyl, aryl, which may be substituted and wherein R' designates --H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, nitro or carboxy, or ##STR3## wherein R is --H, lower alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R.sub.1 is --H, alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R.sub.2 is --H, alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl, and wherein Y is --H or a non-interfering substituent; which comprises chemically binding an activated chemical moiety to a group Z- -, or a corresponding naphthyl-containing group, wherein Z is as defined above, according to the reaction scheme: ##STR4## wherein Q is as defined above, or a functional group which can be converted to such group after the chemical bonding; and X is --Cl or --Br.

Organic reagents and process of preparing same

The present invention relates to a novel process of organic synthesis which comprises forming active species from molecules chemically bound to a rigid insoluble polymer, reacting the active species so as to obtain the desired product, splitting this off the polymer, and recovering the desired product. The novel method of organic synthesis is applicable to a wide variety of chemical reactions, and the conditions of reaction will be chosen according to the desired products.
