Abstract
Copolymerization of an optically active N-(1-menthyl carboxylatomethyl)citraconimide (MCMCI) was carried out with methyl methacrylate (MMA) with azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator in benzene at 50°C. All the copolymers obtained were optically active. After the removal of the optically active menthyl group, the hydrolyzed poly(MCMCI-co-MMA)'s still showed optical activity. The asymmetric induction to the copolymer main chain and the mechanism are discussed based on the measurements of optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism of the original and hydrolyzed copolymers.Keywords
