Glycopolymers via catalytic chain transfer polymerisation (CCTP), Huisgens cycloaddition and thiol-ene double click reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 May 21:(19):2727-9. doi: 10.1039/b904249k. Epub 2009 Apr 9.

Abstract

CCTP has been used to give alkyne-functional macromonomers which are subsequently functionalised with sugar azides and thiols, using both CuAAC and thiol-ene Michael addition reactions, to yield end-functionalised glycopolymers in a convenient manner.
