Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of ( R )‐2‐methacryloyloxy‐2′‐methoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalene (( R )‐MAMBN) mediated by different amine ligands, copper(I) chloride and ethyl 2‐bromopropionate in different solvents, and reverse ATRP of ( R )‐MAMBN were studied. It was shown that optically active polymers were obtained, with poor control of the molecular weights, and low polydispersities. Specific rotation of the polymers increased with increasing molecular weights. By comparison with ( R )‐MAMBN, poly(( R )‐MAMBN)s exhibits higher specific rotation and a positive Cotton effect.
