Abstract: A process for making poly(hydroxystyrene)s whose phenolic hydroxyl groups are partially protected by acid-decomposable or -eliminable groups, by which the degree of deblocking of the phenolic hydroxyl groups is controlled. Namely, the production of a polymer containing, in the molecule, repeating units of the general formula (IA) and those of the general formula (IB), comprising adding an acid to polymer (B) containing in the molecule repeating units of general formula (II) in an organic solvent with the molar ratio of the acid to the OR3 group being 0.0001 equivalent or above but below 0.05 equivalent, and reacting the polymer with the acid. In the general formulae, R1 is hydrogen or methyl; R2 is C1-6 alkyl; R3 is an acid-decomposable or -eliminable group; R4 is hydrogen or a group derived from R3 by decomposition with acid; and p is 0, 1, or 2, with the proviso that the IB/IA molar ratio ranges 98/2 to 30/70.

Abstract: A process for producing a monodisperse polymer which has a number-average molecular weight from 1,000 to 100,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw (weight-average molecular weight)/Mn (number-average molecular weight)=1.00 through 1.50 is disclosed. This process comprises: homopolymerizing or random copolymerizing an anionic polymerizable compound by living anionic polymerization using an organic alkali metal and/or an alkali metal as a polymerization initiator, wherein a target molecular weight is obtained by adding the compound divided into multiple steps.
