Poly(methyl methacrylate)-supported isoxazolinium permanganates: preparation and application as oxidising reagents

Divinylbenzene (DVB), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (N,N′MBA) crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was functionalised to generate isoxazolinium permanganate resins. These resins were found to selectively oxidise alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in appreciable yields. These reagents were found to possess the characteristics of polymeric reagents including operational simplicity.
