Abstract Thiol-ene click reaction is one of useful reactions due to its high efficiency and rapidity to achieve quantitative yield with no side reaction. The reaction can be initiated by light, heat or radical. There are a variety of dyes such as Iridium or Ruthenium based dyes and organic dyes such as Rhodamines and Eosin Y which can be utilized to proceed the catalysis. Among them, metal-free photocatalysts have attracted attentions for environmentally friendly “green” chemistry. More importantly, this type of catalysis can be further useful to introduce desired chemical functionalities into functional polymers. Herein, we demonstrate the use of visible light photocatalysts to modify reactive copolymers having alkene groups with thiol containing molecules through thiol-ene click reaction. We show that the chemical routes are highly efficient under visible light illumination (from green to blue light), highlighting its ability to facilitate achieving target structure in polymeric materials.
