Degradable sugar polymers with orthoester linkages connecting the sugar units were chemically synthesized by W. Du and co‐workers, as described in their Communication on page 13699 ff. Under optimal polymerization conditions, polymers with with molecular weights up to 6.9 kDa were synthesized. These polymers are highly pH‐responsive because of the acid‐labile linkages in the backbone.
