Abstract
AbstractCationic copolymerization of l‐menthyl vinyl ether (l‐MVE) with indene (IN) was carried out with several catalysts in toluene (Tol) at 0°C. The catalysts used were BF3OEt2, CH3COClO4, and SnCl4. l‐Menthyl residue, an optically active side chain of the copolymer obtained, was removed with dry hydrogen bromide gas by the ether cleavage reaction. Ether‐cloven copolymers [vinyl alcohol(VA)–IN] also had optical rotation. The efficiency of asymmetric induction to the polymer main chain was in the order of BF3OEt2 > CH3COClO4 > SnCl4.
