Various polystyrene topologies built from tailored cyclic polystyrene via CuAAC reactions.
Rapid CuAAC cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by CuBr/PMDETA in toluene afforded complex architectures from functional polymeric cyclic blocks. Various topologies (from paddle-like to 3-arm stars) rapidly formed with high conversion at 25 °C. Remarkably, this approach overcame significant steric hindrance linking polymeric cyclic structures with high coupling efficiency.
