Inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (iEDDA) functionalisation of macroporous poly(dicyclopentadiene) foams

Abstract

Inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reactions performed on the double bonds in open cellular macroporous poly(dicyclopentadiene) monoliths yield a high degree of functionalisation (up to 2 mmol pyridazines per g or 8 mmol N per g) with grafted di(pyridyl)pyridazines in a single step. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
