Stereocontrolled polymerization of chiral heterocydic monomers

Abstract

A review with 80 references deals with stereoselective (race-mate-forming chirogenic) and stereoelective (asymmetric enantiomer-differentiating) ring-opening polymerizations of chiral oxiranes, thiiranes, lactones, dilactides, and N-carboxyanhydrides of alpha-aminoacids. These enantiocontrolled polymerizations are analyzed in terms of the chain-end control or site control mechanisms (CEM or SCM, respectively). Possibility of formation of highly ordered structures by the resulting izotactic and optically active macromolecules is also discussed.
