Abstract: The optically active p-vinyl-α-methylbenzyl alcohol obtained from p-vinyl acetophenone via asymmetric reduction using (S)-2-anilinomethylpyrrolidine-LiAlH4 as a chiral reagent was polymerised to the poly(p-vinyl-α-methylbenzyl alcohol). The optical purity of the chiral polymer was found to be 61.5%.
