Herein we report a one-pot strategy for the synthesis and functionalization of hyperbranched polytriazoles by means of the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an AB2-type monomer containing an alkyne and two azide groups. The AB2 monomer is synthesized starting from dimethyl 5-hydroxyisophthalate in four steps with an overall yield of 58%, and the synthesis and purification are straightforward. The synthesis of end-capped hyperbranched polytriazoles (HBPTs) can be achieved via the Huisgen cycloaddition of the AB2 monomer using only heat, followed by functionalization with either sulfonic acid (-SO3H) or pentafluorophenyl (-Ph-F5) end groups. The resulting functional hyperbranched polytriazoles, HBPT-Ph-SO3H and HBPT-Ph-F5, are characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies as well as gel-permeation chromatography. The film is fabricated simply by blending the two polymers, and the ion exchange capacity and ion conductivity are measured.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
