The ‘living’ radical polymerization of 2‐(2′,3′,4′,6′‐tetra‐ O ‐acetyl‐β‐ D ‐glucopyranosyloxy)ethyl acrylate (AcGEA) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported. It has been found that the polymerization kinetics are first‐order, the molecular weights increase linearly with conversion, and the molecular weight distribution remains narrow when the polymerization conversion is below 70%. Well‐defined P(AcGEA) was obtained, and the O‐protecting acetyl groups of P(AcGEA) were quantitatively removed by reacting with dilute CH 3 ONa solution in CHCl 3 /CH 3 OH to afford well‐defined poly[(2‐β‐ D ‐glucopyranosyloxy)ethyl acrylate] (PGEA). © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
