We report a series of cyclopolymerizations of bis(4-vinylbenzoate) monomers through an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using chiral ligands. Cyclized polymers showing chiroptical properties were produced by polymerization of the racemic bifunctional monomer, rac-2,4-pentanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate) (rac-1), and enantiomerically unbalanced bifunctional monomers were recovered, providing substantial evidence for the enantiomer-selective polymerization of rac-1 mediated through the ATRP with chiral ligands. A comparison between the enantiomerically pure monomers, (2R,4R)-2,4-pentanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate) (RR-1) and (2S,4S)-2,4-pentanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate) (SS-1), revealed a drastic discrepancy in the rates of their homopolymerizations during the ATRP. The enantiomeric copolymerization of RR-1 and SS-1 indicated that the monomer reactivity ratio of RR-1 was higher than that of SS-1 for the ATRP with chiral ligands. The results of both homopolymerizations and copolymerizations clearly demons...
