The PVA-DNP polymer was characterized by NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The reaction of PVA-DNP with sodium methoxide was followed by NMR and UV-visible spectroscopy. Evidence of polymer bound spirocyclic SIGMA complex, C-1 and C-3 polymer bound DNP-methoxy SIGMA complexes and the formation and C-1 methoxy complex of 2,4-dinitroanisole was observed. %K 2 %K 4-Dinitrophenyl Ether %K Polyvinyl Alcohol %K Anionic SIGMA Complex %K Thermal Stability %K Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=127379
