Abstract:

An efficient and metal-catalyst free method of glycopolymer synthesis via thiol/para-fluorine ‘‘click’’ reaction was used to graft acetylated 1-thio-b-D-glucopyranose and 1-thio-b-D-galactopyranose onto a homopolymer of pentafluorostyrene (PFS) as well as onto a block copolymer of styrene and PFS. Subsequent deprotection of the carbohydrate moieties yielded well-defined, sugar-modified polymers (PDI
