A novel method for the preparation of functionalized alternating copolymers is presented. Nitroxide‐mediated polymerization of hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate with 7‐octenyl vinyl ether provides the corresponding alternating polymer, which can be chemically modified using two orthogonal polymer‐analogous reactions. A thiol–ene click reaction followed by amidation provides dual‐functionalized alternating copolymers. The potential of this method is illustrated by the preparation of a small library (15 examples) of functionalized alternating copolymers.
