Abstract
AbstractAsymmetric induction in the copolymerization of (–)‐3‐(β‐styryloxy)menthane (1) with styrene was investigated. The copolymers obtained in the presence of BF3 · OEt2 are optically active. The absolute value of the specific rotation of the copolymers was found to be higher than that of the homopolymeric mixture, whatever the composition. After ether cleavage reaction of the copolymers, the products are still optically active. The result suggests that an asymmetric induction takes place in the polymer main chain.
