Different routes were explored to synthesize a polymer with pendant iodosylarene groups. The polymer backbones investigated to support the iodosylarene groups included poly(vinyl) and poly(carbonate) backbones. For the poly(vinyl) backbone, synthesis of a 4-iodostyrene monomer was attempted using a Grignard reaction and also using a lithium-halogen exchange reaction. Polymerization of the monomer and co-polymerization of the monomer with styrene was attempted. Further reactions to transform the iodo group to an iodosyl group are described.
