Abstract
Polymer chemistry, probably more than any other chemical
discipline, relies on highly efficient organic reactions.1 Indeed,
typical macromolecular reactions such as polymer growth (i.e.,
chain- or step-growth), polymer modification (i.e side-chains or
chain-ends) and chain-chain coupling (i.e., block copolymer
synthesis, bioconjugation) generally require high-yield and highly
specific chemical reactions.2 In that context, it comes as no
surprise thatmodular reactions of the “click”-type3 have recently
been gaining popularity in polymer science. For instance, more
than 300 articles, describing the relevance of copper-catalyzed
azide/alkyne cycloadditions (CuAAC) in polymer synthesis, have
been published within the last five years.4 These archetypal
“click” reactions open multiple possibilities in terms of macromolecular
engineering.
