The first part of this report deals with changes in the optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism resulting from the chemical modification of optically active polymers. Amylose derivatives have very different chiroptical properties compared with cellulose derivatives. Variations in glucosidic bonds and differing secondary structures are described and suggested as causes for this. The N-chlorination of synthetic optically active polyamides is also described, which in all probability proceeds without changing the configuration at the asymmetric C atoms. Reactions of inactive polymers with low molecular weight chiral reagents usually give optical rotation values proportional to the degree of transformation, although the tacticity of the polymers can be a contributive factor. Asymmetric synthesis is possible in polymers with prochiral groups.
