Starting from 4‐methoxycarbonylphenyl glycidyl ether and unfunctionalized phenyl glycidyl ether, samples of highly regio‐ and stereoregular linear homo‐ and copolymers were synthesized using the ionic coordinative initiator system aluminium isopropoxide/ZnCl 2 . The polymers were first transformed into carboxylic acid derivatives and then into highly reactive carboxylic acid chlorides with high yields and conversions. The use of all these synthesized polymers was tested by transforming them into the corresponding 4‐nitrobenzyl ester using different synthetic procedures. Finally, the scope of the methodology studied was tested by using it to synthesize a set of new polymers containing different complex groups such as: 18‐crown‐6, biphenyl‐4‐carbonitrile, anthraquinone, (1 R )‐nopol, (‐)‐inosine and 4‐dodecylaniline, which are in general obtained with good yields and conversions.
