he synthesis of a new hydrophobic gel by reacting cooligomer of butadiene and acrylic acid (Mw 4500) with sucrose crosslinking in best conditions is described. Application of this new gel swelled in different organic solvents is studied. Separation of organic substances in benzene was achieved with higher retention of more polar substances. By this way, cholesterol was separated from lecithin, acrylic acid from polybutadiene with terminal carboxylic groups, and metals such as copper from organic solvents.
