Polymerization of an optically active phenylacetylene derivative bearing an azide residue by click reaction and reaction with a rhodium catalyst.
A facile method for synthesizing diverse optically active polymers with different backbone structures was developed by the polymerization of an optically active aromatic azide bearing an acetylene unit with a rhodium catalyst followed by the click reaction of the pendant azides or by the click polymerization of the monomer.
