NEW MATERIAL:A compound shown by the formula I.
USE: A raw material for synthesizing a poly-p-mercaptostyrene useful as an oxidation-reauction polymer and a metallic ion adsorbing polymer.
PREPARATION: A p-halogenothiophenol shown by the formula II (X is halogen) is reacted with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride shown by the formula C4H9(CH3)2 SiCl usually in an aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride, etc., in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, etc. preferably at 20W30°C for 0.5W2hr to give a tert-butyldimethylsilyl-p-halogenophenyl sulfide shown by the formula III. Then, this compound is reacted with metallic Mg to give a 4-(tert- butyldimethylsilylmercapto)phenyl magnesium halide shown by the formula IV, which is reacted with a vinyl halide in the presence of a catalyst.
