Significance

A series of polymer-supported dendritic phosphine ligands G1-3(X)TPP was prepared. Thus, for example, hydromethylpolystyrene was coupled with hydroxyisophthalate under Mitsunobu conditions and the resulting polymeric phthalate was reduced to give G1(O)OH. Through similar condensation-reduction sequence(s), G2 and G3(O)OH were obtained. Triphenylphosphino (TPP) groups were introduced via ester condensation of Gn(O)OH with diphenylphosphino­benzoic acid to give Gn(O)TPP. Gn(N)TPP and Gn(S)TPP were also prepared starting with bromomethyl­polystyrene.
