Abstract: Amacroporous cation exchange resin-supported SnCl4 was synthesized in CS2 to form a stable complex of containing 8.4% of Sn.The SnCl4 complexed in the ion exchange resin is resistant to water and air.The polymer Lewis acid complex catalyst can be used to catalyze many organic reactions with high yield, such as esterification, acetalization and ketal formation.The catalyst is also effective for Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.The title catalyst can be reused at least 10 times.

Key words: Polymer catalyst, Ion-exchange resin, SnCl4
