The asymmetric lactone (3 S , 4 R )‐3‐methyl‐4‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐2‐oxetanone ( 6 ) was anionically polymerized to give an insoluble, crystalline, highly isotactic polymer with (2 S , 3 S )‐benzyl β‐3‐methylmalate repeating units. Solubility was achieved by copolymerization of 6 with the recemic ( R , S )‐butyl malolactonate ( 7 ). The semicrystalline copolymer was characterized (M̄ n = 107 000, T g = 29,6°C, T m = 161°C, [α] = 1,5 deg · dm −1 · g −1 · cm 3 ) and its stereosequence investigated by 13 C NMR.
