Sequence-defined synthetic polymer is a promising molecular media for permanently storing digital information. However, when the synthesized polymer with a defined sequence is exhausted, it must be synthesized again from monomers, which makes the process inefficient. Here, we demonstrate an efficient synthetic method by imitating biopolymers such as nucleic acids which synthesize polymers by chain replication through complementary bonds. We synthesized sequence-defined polyester containing adenine and thymine nucleobase by cross convergent method. Thymine and adenine were attached as side chains of the polyester backbone. A monomer with a soluble chain was inserted between the nucleobase monomers to increase solubility.
