Abstract

Selectively 6′-O-monoacrylated monomers of fully protected sucrose moieties were synthesized by a multistep route. Chiral copolymers were prepared from these monomers with styrene or methyl methacrylate using radical initialization with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The quantitative incorporation of substoichiometric components was verified. Copolymers composition and purity were reliably analyzed by 1H NMR and SEC.
