Rasta silanes

A new type of resin for the attachment of alcohols and phenols, dubbed as Rasta silanes 60, has been prepared from TEMPO-mefhyl resin 58 with diaUcylsilane styrenes 59 by radical polymerization [63] (Scheme 27). The process of its preparation allowed for the adjustment of loading capacity, silane spacing, and the relative distance of the silane entities from resin cores. Hydrosilylation or transformation to silyl chlorides was applied to the couphng of alcohols and phenols.
