Abstract
The stereospecific ionic ring-opening polymerization of various donor-acceptor cyclopropanes is reported. The chiral cyclopropane monomers are readily prepared with established methodology and stereospecific polymerization is best conducted with a catalytic amount of MgBr2 serving as a Lewis acid and as an initiator. Polymers with molecular masses of up to 7800g mol-1 containing a stereocenter in every repeating unit are obtained and the substituents of the monomers can be readily varied to access a novel class of chiral polymers.
