## Abstract In the D and L copolymerization of valine __N__‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) with various D/L ratios initiated by __n__‐butylamine, the stereoselection of monomer NCA by the growing polymer chains, which take a β‐like conformation, does not take place. This result is in remarkable contrast to

Synopsis
The copolymerization of N-carboxy-1,-arid o-alaniiie anhydride with methanol :ts initiator was carried out. The eiiantiomer excess in the starting monomer mixtrire is preferentially incorporated into polymer chains, demonstrating asymmetric selection diiring the 1)-and L-copolymerization. The mechanism of asymmetric-selective polymerization of a-amino acid NCA is discussed iii terms of the stereoregiilation by molecular asgmmetry of the growing polymer chain.
