Shining a light on click chemistry: The use of UV‐radiation as trigger signal provides a facile means to obtain spatial and temporal control over polymer conjugation reactions in addition to providing a further means of achieving orthogonality in click transformations. In the current contribution, UV‐radiation was employed to induce a highly efficient Diels–Alder conjugation of polymeric building blocks via the photo‐induced in situ formation of highly reactive cis ‐dienes from a 2‐methylbenzophenone precursor.
