1,6-Anhydro glucose was extracted from a wood tar that is a by-product of charcoal manufacture. After methylation of the 1,6-anhydro glucose, the starting monomer, 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranose (LGTME), was obtained. We found that LGTME had high ring-opening polymerizability and polymerized under mild conditions. With BF3OEt2 catalyst under ordinary pressure and N2 atmosphere at 0 °C, LGTME gave high molecular weight of polymer with 1,6-α stereoregularity in a high yield, even though benzylated 1,6-anhydro glucose monomer (LGTBE) gave no polymers by the same polymerization conditions. The GPC profile showed two absorptions corresponding to = 272 × 103 and = 390 × 104 in the proportion of 4.5:1. Furthermore, under high vacuum condition at 0 °C, LGTME gave the corresponding polymer and the lower molecular weight increased to = 364 × 103. To reveal the high polymerizability of LGTME, two-step polymerization was performed. After the first stage of polymerization under ordinary pressure for 6 h at 0 °C, the second LGTME monomer was added to the polymerization mixture and then the polymerization was continued. It was found that the lower molecular weight of the resulting polymer increased to = 394 × 103 and the yield was 78%. These results suggest that poly(LGTME) after the first-stage polymerization has stable propagating end which has a restarting ability for the ring-opening polymerization. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
