The use of recyclable polymer supported benzyltriethylammonium dichlor
oiodate and tetrachloroiodate reagents in the alpha-halogenation of ke
tones by batch technique is described. The reagents were prepared by p
olymer analogous conversions using polystyrene crosslinked with ethyle
neglycol dimethacrylate as the carrier matrix. Tetrachloroiodate reage
nt was found to have higher reactivity compared to dichloroiodate reag
ent. The effect of reaction conditions such as nature of the solvent,
temperature and effective molar concentration of the reagent were inve
stigated. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
