✦ Synopsis


A polymeric catalyst was synthesized by co-polymerizing 4(5)-vinylimidazole and itaconic acid with trimethylpropanol trimethacrylate micro spheres. The catalyst obtained catalysed the transesterification process between p-nitrophenyl acetate and hexanol with maximal initial velocity(nu(max)) of 4.73 +/- 0.47 microM min(-1) mg(-1), and turnover rate (k(cat)) of 8.67 min(-1). Using p-nitrophenyl acetate as template, molecular imprinting process enhanced the nu(max) of the polymeric catalyst 3-fold. Each imprinted site can be considered as a single molecular reaction vessel, and achieved a k(cat) of 169 min(-1) towards the conversion of p-nitrophenyl acetate in hexanol.

## Abstract A tailor‐made catalytically active polymer catalyzing the bimolecular Diels‐Alder reaction is described. Kinetic studies carried out in acetonitrile at 82Β°C show a 270‐fold rate acceleration (__k__~cat~/__k__~uncat~) for the Diels‐Alder reaction between tetrachlorothiophene dioxide and
