All in one : CuBr/iminopyridine systems can catalyze simultaneously both copper(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC, “click”) and living radical polymerization (LRP) processes (see scheme). The relative rate of the two processes can be tailored by a judicious choice of the reaction conditions (solvent, temperature, [CuBr] 0 ) leading to the development of a potentially very efficient synthetic route to well‐defined functional polymers.
