Novel Hyperbranched Poly([1,2,3]‐triazole)s Derived from AB2 Monomers by a 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition

Abstract

AbstractSummary: Novel hyperbranched poly([1,2,3]‐triazole)s were synthesized from several AB2 monomers by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The compound 3,5‐bis(propargyloxy)benzyl azide was polymerized thermally at room temperature leading to 1,4‐ and 1,5‐disubstituted poly([1,2,3]‐triazole) and catalytically leading only to the 1,4‐disubstituted poly([1,2,3]‐triazole). Only the thermal reaction led to fully soluble products. The AB2 monomers containing an internal alkyne A unit could be autopolymerized thermally under mild reaction conditions leading to soluble, high‐molecular‐weight hyperbranched poly([1,2,3] triazole)s. All products were characterized by detailed NMR investigations.Synthesis route for polymers 8a and 8b.imageSynthesis route for polymers 8a and 8b.
