Abstract
Polymeric organocalcium reagents were prepared via the oxidative addition of highly reactive calcium, prepared from the lithium biphenylide reduction of calcium iodide, to cross-linkedp-bromopolystyrene,p-chloropolystyrene,p-fluoropolystyrene, and chloromethylated polystyrene. These organocalcium reagents react with a variety of electrophiles to yield functionalized polymers.
