Diels-Alder reaction is a kind of reaction with high selectivity, high productivity, high reliability and condition tolerability. Ever since its discovery, it has been widely used in the organic synthetic chemistry and become a click chemistry. Recently, the Diels-Alder reaction is also gradually becoming an important linking method in the preparation for polymers with well-defined architectures, due to its broad practicability and orthogonality. Based on the classification of polymer architecture, this paper reviews the applications of Diels-Alder reaction. in preparing these polymers. Moreover, the paper gives the outlook for further prospect of Diels-Alder reaction in the polymer science. The relative key questions include methodology developments, application in the preparation of polymers with more specialized architectures, and broadening the functional usages.
