Notes:
The present paper reports on the synthesis of copolymers of ( - )-p-(3-menthyl) acrylate (1) with 4-vinylpyridine (2) by radical polymerization in a large range of composition. Reactivity ratio values of the two comonomers, evaluated by the Kelen-Tüdös method, have allowed to show that 2 exhibits a rather high reactivity as compared with 1. The average sequence length of the co-units and their distribution in the macromolecules were evaluated. The chiroptical properties of side chain pyridine chromophores were investigated by circular dichroism measurements and related to composition and distribution of the monomeric units.
