The stereoelective polymerization of racemic t‐butyl thiirane was performed with chiral zinc glycolate. Monomers and polymers of high optical purities were isolated. A new kinetic scheme in which the ratio of the rates of consumption of both enantiomers obeys a second‐order relationship is proposed. This behavior is different from that observed for other three‐membered ring monomers.
