Abstract:
1. A polymer-supported diol of the formula: wherein Pol and Q are connected via a carbon-carbon bond; Q is an organic ring structure; and Pol is an insoluble polymer support; comprising a diol grafted onto a polymer selected from the group consisting of a benzyl halide-containing polymer or a olefin-containing polymer; wherein the benzyl halide-containing polymer is attached to an aromatic carbon of the diol through a benzylic carbon or the olefin-containing polymer is attached to an aromatic carbon of the diol through an olefinic carbon; wherein said diol is selected from the group consisting of (a) biphenol, C, wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 to C 20 branched or straight chain alkyl and benzyl, C 1 to C 20 cycloalkyl, C 6 to C 20 aryl, OR 1 , CO 2 R 1 , and cyclic ether; wherein neighboring R 1 groups are optionally connected to form a ring structure; wherein each R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 to C 20 branched or straight chain alkyl, C 1 to C 20 cycloalkyl, and C 6 to C 20 aryl; and wherein x and y are each independently 0-3, and x and y are each independently 0-4 if at least one of R x or R y contains an aromatic ring; and (b) binaphthol, D, wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C
