Alternating copolymers from isopropenyl isocyanate and N ‐substituted maleimides ( N ‐phenyl, N ‐tetradecyl‐ and N ‐octadecylmaleimide) were synthesized for the first time. The reactive copolymers with regular structure have an isocyanate group in the constitutional repeating unit which allows modification and functionalization in a polymer analogous reaction. Functionalization has been demonstrated with examples of amphiphilic copolymers having the hydrophobic and the hydrophilic chain attached to the polymer backbone in a regular alternating fashion. A second example is an alternating copolymer with an NLO‐chromophore attached to the polymer.
