Drenth Department of Organic Chemistry of the University, Croesestraat 79, Utrecht, The Netherlands (Received August 31st, 1977) Abstract. Polymer-anchored phosphine functions were obtained in two ways: by diphenylphosphina- tion of poly[[l-(4-bromophenyl)ethyl]iminomethylene] and by polymerization of l-[4(diphenyl- phosphino)phenyl]-l-isocyanoethane. The synthesis of the monomers and polymers is described. Introduction Many efforts have been made at anchoring homogeneous ' Part 6: R. J. M. Nolle, J. A. J. van Zomeren and J. W.

The 1 — PhjP - Ph2P' C-CHj first type was made by diphenylphosphination of poly[[ 1 - 8 (4-bromo-phenyl)ethyl]iminomethylene]. The second type was synthesized by polymerization of a triphenylphosphine containing isocyanide.
