A series of isotactic, semicrystalline vinyl ether copolymers (up to 94% <i>meso</i> diads) were synthesized using a chiral BINOL-based phosphoric acid in combination with a titanium Lewis acid. This stereoselective cationic polymerization enabled the systematic tuning of both glass-transition (<i>T</i><sub>g</sub>) and melting temperature (<i>T</i><sub>m</sub>) in copolymers derived from alkyl vinyl ethers (<i>i.e.</i>, ethyl, butyl, isobutyl). Additionally, a vinyl ether comonomer bearing an acyl-protected alcohol was utilized as a platform for post-functionalization. Copolymers containing the masked alcohols were shown to undergo facile deprotection and subsequent coupling with a desired acid chloride. Collectively, these results highlight the diverse material properties and expanded chemical space accessible through stereoselective cationic polymerization mediated by a chiral anion.

A series of carboxylic acid-based alkoxyamines associated with SnBr4, a Lewis acid, have been used as protonic acids of a binary initiating system to control the cationic polymerization of vinyl ether.
