Abstrakt: 1.Macroporous and gel sulfo cation-exchange resins are active catalysts for the condensation of styrene with formaldehyde. The product, 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane was obtained in up to 97% yield.2.The activity of macroporous sulfo cation-exchange resins increases with decreasing particle diameter but in the case of the gel samples, granule size has only a slight effect on the reaction rate.3.The enhanced activity of sulfo cation-exchange resins is presumably a result of the high value of the acidity function Ho of the sulfonic acid groups of the cation-exchange resin.
