Preparation of a Dual-Functionalized Acid-Base Macroporous Polymer via High Internal Phase Emulsion Templating as a Reusable Catalyst for One-Pot Deacetalization-Henry Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A macroporous dual-functional acid-base covalent organic polymer catalyst poly(St-VBC)-NH₂-SO₃H was prepared using high internal phase emulsion polymerization using vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC), styrene (St), and divinylbenzene (DVB) as substrates toluene as a porogenic solvent, and subsequent modification with ethylenediamine and 1,3-propane sultone. The role of various amounts of toluene as the porogenic solvent as well as the amount of 1,3-propane sultone (different ratio of acid/base sites) on the structure of the prepared materials have been carefully investigated. The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), CHNS elemental analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), elemental mapping, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE
