“…Polystyrene-Br (50-100 mesh, 2.17 mmol g -1 , 2 % cross-linked DVB) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Cyclic sulfates are prepared according to literature: 1,3-propadiol cyclic sulfate i [47], l,4-butanediol cyclic sulfate ii [48], (2R,4R)-2,4-pentanediol cyclic sulfate iii [41], (2R,5R)-2,5-hexanediol cyclic sulfate iv [49], (2S,5S)-2,5-hexanediol cyclic sulfate v [49], (3R,3R)-3,6-octadiol cyclic sulfate vi [50]. See ESM for detailed synthetic procedures and characterisation of the ligands.…”
