Synthesis of a Kinetically Stabilized Homoditopic Nitrile <i>N</i>-Oxide Directed toward Catalyst-free Click Polymerization

Abstract

Abstract A kinetically stabilized homoditopic nitrile N-oxide was prepared for a catalyst-free click polymerization that efficiently proceeded via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with several bifunctional alkyne, alkene, and nitrile monomers. The polymerization afforded the corresponding polymers with high molecular weights and yields.
