Polyamides with various functional side groups were synthesized viaPasserini reaction in a one-pot approach. The polymerization conditions and kinetics as well as the resulting polymer structures were thoroughly investigated. The facile introduction of various pendant groups, especially alkynyl and alkenyl groups, provides a platform for efficient post-polymerization modification by click chemistry.
