Abstract
Tri-O-acetyl-, tri-O-benzyl-, tri-O-methyl-D-glucal were copolymerized with maleic anhydride (MAnh) to afford novel vinyl copolymers containing sugar residues in the main chain. Tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal (TBG) showed higher copolymerization reactivity with MAnh than the other glucal derivatives. The copolymerization of TBG and MAnh was carried out at various monomer feed ratios to give the copolymers always rich in MAnh units. Both the complex and penultimate models could explain the compositional data, but the analysis of the copolymerization rate suggested the participation of the CT complex in the propagation.
