Asymmetric cyclocopolymerizations

Scheme 2-1 Schematic representation of the asymmetric cyclocopolymerization of monomer 1 with methyl methacrylate [4].

It is unlikely that the chiral configurations of the linear portions of the chains contribute to the asymmetry of the cavity since no asymmetric cyclocopolymerization is possible for the template monomer 7. With other types of template monomers, though, such contributions of backbone chiral portions of the polymer might be expected (see Section 2.2).
