The enantiomer-selective (asymmetric selective or stereoelective) polymerization of a bulky racemic monomer phenyl-2-pyridyl-o-tolylmethyl methacrylate (PPyTMA) was investigated with chiral anionic initiators, the complexes of 2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-bis(dimethylamino)butane (DDB) with fluorenyllithium or N,N′-diphenylethylenediamine monolithium amide, in toluene at −78°C. (−)-Isomer was consumed preferentially over (+)-isomer when (−)-DDB was used as a chiral ligand and a highly isotactic polymer was obtained. The initiators showed no enantiomer selectivity in the polymerization of less bulky racemic methacrylates, such as 1-phenylethyl methacrylate and 1,2-diphenylethyl methacrylate which afforded atactic polymers. Enantiomer selectivity increased with conversion up to about 25%. The e.e. of the polymerized monomer at a stage of about 25% conversion was nearly 100%. This was ascribed to a rigid one-handed helical conformation of highly isotactic poly(PPyTMA) at the early stage of the polymerization. The selectivity did not decrease in the asymmetric copolymerization with tri-phenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA), but greatly decreased in the copolymerization with the less bulky methacrylates. The former copolymerization formed a coisotactic polymer and the latter atactic copolymers.
