(S)‐3‐Vinyl‐2,2'‐bisalkoxy‐1,1'‐binaphthyl 3 were synthesized and radically polymerized using AIBN as an initiator. These polymers exhibited optical rotations as large as fourfold those of the corresponding monomers and they have been proven to take on a prevailing helicity of backbone in solution.
