Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Aug 25;49(66):7325-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42925c.

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.
