Abstract:The combination of modern click protocols and bio‐based building blocks is a great step towards energy‐efficient, sustainable, and tailorable polymer production. Herein, we chose thiol‐Michael addition (thiol‐yne) reactions from the toolbox of click chemistry protocols and used propiolated castor oil (PCO), a vegetable oil derivative, as the bio‐based building block for the facile functionalization of PCO with various thiols. In addition to the functionalization of PCO, hyperbranched and crosslinked polymers w… Show more
