Stereospecific polymerization of various methacrylates has been extensively studied (1). Among many, triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA) is one of the most interesting monomers and brings about some unusual results as follows: This monomer forms only highly isotactic polymers with butyllithium (BuLi) not only in toluene but in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (2,3), and even with radical initiator it gives a polymer rich in isotacticity (2,3,4,5). This unique nature of TrMA has been ascribed to the bulky triphenylmethyl group. The large ester group also affects greatly its reactivity in the copolymerization with other methacrylates, such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) or α-methylbenzyl methacrylate (MBMA) with BuLi (6,7,8). Some of the copolymers of (S)-MBMA and TrMA shows large positive optical rotations, which are opposite in sign to the rotation of the homopolymer of (S)-MBMA. This positive rotation is attributed to the isotactic sequence of TrMA units which has helical conformation spiraled in single screw sense (9,10,
