Synthesis of 1,5-regioregular polytriazoles by efficient NMe4OH-mediated azide–alkyne click polymerization†
Abstract
Aromatic alkynes and azides were successfully polymerized under metal-free conditions using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (NMe4OH) as an organocatalyst at room temperature and soluble 1,5-regioregular polytriazoles P3a–P3e with high molecular weights (Mw up to 56 000) were readily produced in high yields (up to 96%).
