Azide-alkine “click” reaction

However, in the case of star polymers the above-mentioned strategies are not sufficiently active to achieve a full functionalization of the telechelic polymers. Thus, (Figure 3.6a) the use of the azide-alkine click reaction in combination with LCCP (Binder et al, 2004c Binder...

Another strategy to prepare poly(caprolactone) polymers runs via the use of ROP-reactions and subsequent azide-alkine click reactions. Thus, starting from butenol (59) the ROP...
