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 <IMAGE> wherein Z designates a recurring part (CH2-CH-CH2) 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: <IMAGE> <IMAGE> +TR <IMAGE> wherein R designates -H, lower alkyl, aryl, which may be substituted and wherein R'' designates -H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, nitro or carboxy, or <IMAGE> +TR <IMAGE> wherein R is -H, lower alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R1 is -H, alkyl, aryl (which may be substituted), R2 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 <IMAGE> or a corresponding naphthyl-containing group, wherein Z is as defined above, according to the reaction scheme: <IMAGE> +TR <IMAGE> 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. |
