Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have studied stereospecific cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with helical polymeric counteranion. Herein the initiator is a hemiacetal ester-embedded molecule and the initiation/propagation proceed along with the acetate anion that is generated via reversible activation of hemiacetal ester (HAE) bond with Lewis acid. The key concept in this research is design of the acetate counteanion with helical polymer toward control of the stereoregulated propagation.
