Applying “click” chemistry to polyurethanes: a straightforward approach for glycopolymer synthesis

Abstract

We report a facile synthetic route to prepare polyurethanes with pendant sugar-moieties in the side-chain of the polymer through incorporation of diverse chain extenders capable of undergoing either copper catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or thiol-ene click reactions.
