Significance

In situ generation of bifunctional ­nitrile N-oxide 1,3-dipoles and Huisgen cycloaddition to a bisalkynyl partner affords polymers with isoxazoles in the polymer backbone 1. These polymers are relevant, because they can be easily reduced with a wide variety of reducing agents to achieve polymers with a high density of functional groups in the polymer backbones 2 and 3. This is a good example of functionality obtained from click-chemistry adducts.
