Asymmetric induction in free radical addition reaction to 2‐octene in l‐menthol

Apparent asymmetric induction by the radical copolymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether with maleic anhydride in 1‐menthol

“…From this point of view we found that an optically active copolymer was obtained by the radical copolymerization of S t with maleic anhydride (MAn) in 1-menthol7 and that optically active addition products were obtained by the radical reaction of cyclohexanone with 2-octene in l-menthol. 8 Recently we extended our concept to the asymmetric induction of the radical addition of thiols to ole fin^.^-"…”
