The mixture was stirred for 20 h at 638C. After cooling to
room temperature the resin was thoroughlywashed with
water, ethanol and ethyl acetate and dried for 3 h (50 mbar,
708C).

Synthesis of Polymer Beads with Covalently Bound
Porphyrin 4
Porphyrin 4 (25 mg) was dissolved in 10 mL of dryDMF
and deprotonated with sodium hydride (5 mg, 0.21 mmol).
After 1 h, chloromethylated polystyrene beads (2.50 g, mmol
Cl/g, 1% divinylbenzene copolymer, 100–200 mesh) in
10 mL of dryDMF were added and the mixture was stirred
for 3 d at 808C. After cooling to room temperature the resin
was thoroughlywashed with water, ethanol and ethyl ace-
tate and dried for 3 h (50 mbar, 708C).
General Procedure for the Photooxygenation of
Mesitylol (5) in Polystyrene Beads
A slurry of 2 g of polystyrene beads with a solution of mesi-
tylol in 20 mL of dichloromethane was dispersed on a Petri
dish (Ø 19 cm). The excess solvent was evaporated byleav-
ing the Petri dish for a few minutes in a well ventilated
hood. The sandysolid which was obtained was irradiated in
the looselycovered Petri dish bya sodium street lamp or a
halogen lamp without external cooling and without external
oxygen purging. The polymer beads were subsequently
rinsed with 320 mL of ether and filtered. After careful
evaporation of the solvent (no hydroperoxide decomposition
was observed when the temperature was kept <408C), the
crude product was analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. As
the significant 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) signals were
used: syn-diastereoisomer: d=0.89 (t, 3H, J=7.42 Hz, 3H,
CH2CH3), 1.17–1.52 (m, 2H, CH2CH3), 1.65 (s, 3H, CH3),
3.52 (ddd, 1H, J=8.53, 8.53, 3.24 Hz, CH-OH), 4.12 (d, 1H,
J=8.53 Hz, CH-OOH), 4.97 (m, 2H, =CH2); anti-diastereo-
isomer: d=0.90 (t, 3H, J=7.42 Hz, 3H, CH2CH3), 1.17–1.52
(m, 2H, CH2CH3), 1.73 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.65 (m, 1H, CH-
OH), 4.27 (d, 1H, J=4.55 Hz, CH-OOH), 5.00 (m, 2H, =
CH2). The residual polystyrene beads could be used for fur-
ther photooxygenations without loss of activity for at least
six times.
