## Abstract In the polymerizations of alanine, γ‐ethyl glutamate, and leucine __N__‐carboxyanhydrides (NCA's) initiated by tertiary amines and some secondary amines such as __N__‐methyl‐L‐alanine dialkylamide, a stereoselectivity was observed: the polymerization rates of L‐ and D‐NCA's were identic

## Abstract Studies on copolymerization kinetics of __N__‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) of __O__‐acetyl‐L‐tyrosine (T) with NCAs of L‐valine (V) and glycine (G) were carried out in dioxane at 25°C with __n__‐butylamine as initiator. The reactivity ratios for the VT system were found to be __r__~V~:__r__~T
The polymerization of -y-benzyl+glutamate NCA initiated by n-hexylamine in DMF proceeds with two successive propagation r a h whose ratio is about 1.5. The onset of the increase in rate of propagation occurred a t a DP, of 7-14, which waa independent of initiator to anhydride ratio and anhydride con
