Abstract: Polystyrene-supported polyethylene glycol was synthesized using a imporved method. The phase-transfer catalysis was studied in the reaction of n-C8H17Br with solid Nal. The reaction rate was a first-order with respect to the concentration of n-C8H17Br. The observed reaction rate constant kobs increased as the degree of cross-linking and particle size of catalyst decreased. Macroporous catalysts showed a higher activity than that of microporous catalysts. Trace amount of water also showed some influence on kobs. kobs of PEGwas increased after it was immobilized. The solid-solid contact mechanism of S-S-Lsystem was confirmed by our experiment.
