A clear effect of Lewis acids, such. as scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3], on stereocontrol during the radical polymerization of a designed monomer, benzyl α‐(methoxymethyl)acrylate was found. This Lewis acid also influenced the stereochemistry in the radical polymerization of methyl met...
