The application belongs to the technical field of
solid phase
catalysis, and discloses application of a porous
polymer catalyst in catalyzing an
epoxy ring-opening reaction. The porous
polymer catalyst is prepared by the following method: (1) trihelium is dissolved in a
solvent together with a Lewis acid, and through reaction I, washing, refluxing, filtering and
drying, a hypercrosslinked self-porous
polymer is obtained; (2) the hypercrosslinked self-porous polymer obtained in step (1) is dispersed in concentrated
sulfuric acid, and through reaction II, a sulfonated multifunctional hypercrosslinked self-porous polymer, i.e. the porous polymer catalyst, is obtained. The polymer catalyst provided by the application is rich in porous structure, can efficiently catalyze the synthesis of an
epoxy ring-opening reaction under simple catalytic conditions, and can realize a conversion rate close to 100% under a small amount of catalyst, a short reaction time and a low temperature, and has high industrial application value.
