## Abstract A novel NMP initiator functionalized with an alkyne group was synthesized and its polymerization behavior investigated. It was shown that the synthesized alkyne end‐functionalized polymers exhibit a linear relationship between calculated number‐averaged molecular weight and the experime

Abstract
Summary: The bromine chain ends of well‐defined polystyrene ($\overline M _{\rm n}$ = 2 700 g · mol^−1^, $\overline M _{\rm w} /\overline M _{\rm n}$ = 1.11) prepared using ATRP were successfully transformed into various functional end groups (ω‐hydroxy, ω‐carboxyl and ω‐methyl‐vinyl) by a two‐step pathway: (1) substitution of the bromine terminal atom by an azide function and (2) 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of the terminal azide and functional alkynes (propargyl alcohol, propiolic acid and 2‐methyl‐1‐buten‐3‐yne). The “click” cycloaddition was catalyzed efficiently by the system copper bromide/4,4′‐di‐(5‐nonyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine. In all cases, ^1^H NMR spectra indicated quantitative transformation of the chain ends of polystyrene into the desired function.
