Three new polyurethanes (PUs) with multiple pendant allyl groups were synthesized from L -arabinitol as versatile materials for the preparation of tailor-made PUs with varying degrees of functionalization. Their allyl functional groups can take part in thiol-ene reactions to obtain greatly diverse materials. Thus, six new highly functional PUs were prepared by click chemistry to give polymers with NHBoc [NH-CO-OC(CH 3 ) 3 ], amino, carboxylic, and 1,2-dihydroxyethyl side groups. The thermal stability of the novel PUs was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. This strategy provides a simple and versatile platform for the design of new materials whose functionality can be easily modifi ed to anchor diverse biologically active molecules.following: (a) the incorporation of functional groups in the diol moiety without previous protection, as hydroxyl, [ 8 ] carboxy, [9][10][11] alkynyl [ 5 , 12 , 13 ] or allyl groups, [ 14 , 15 ] and oxazolidine-functionalized PUs [ 16 ] or disulfi de bonds [ 17 ] among others; or (b) in certain cases, functional groups were previously protected as NHBoc moieties [ 18 ] or benzyl ether groups, [ 19 ] and later deprotected once the polymerization had taken place. The diisocyanates do not usually bear any functional group -apart from one example found in the literature (maleimide units). [ 20 ] The methods mentioned above incorporate just one type of functional group each time, the preparation of different diol or diisocyanate monomers is required and poor control on the degree of functionalization is sometimes accomplished. In a previous paper of our group, [ 19 ] we had attempted the preparation of multihydroxylated PUs by using a conveniently protected sugar diol monomer in which secondary groups were blocked as benzyl ethers. Deprotection of secondary hydroxyl groups required severe reaction conditions and was poorly controlled. At most, debenzylation proceeded close to 70% after 5 d of reaction.Therefore, it would be of interest to fi nd a procedure to transform a certain polymer into functionalized new materials by means of a simple and straightforward reaction. To deal with this issue, we now present a strategy based on the use of di-and tri-O -allyl diol monomers for polymerization with aromatic or aliphatic diisocyanates
