Here we report the design and synthesis of acid-degradable and functionalizable polymers via alternating ring-opening metathesis copolymerization of oxanorbornadiene dicarboxylate and 2,3-dihydrofuran. The resulting polymers can undergo post-polymerization modification through aza-Michael and thia-Michael additions, leading to a diverse set of degradable polymer structures with various functional groups and tunable properties.
