Abstract
Simple divalent metal benzoxides are reported as robust and efficient catalysts for lactide (LA) polymerisation. Following a “pre-stir” step to aid solubility, the best performing catalyst, Zn(OBn)2, gave quantitative monomer conversion in just 30 seconds and performed well under industrially relevant settings with high monomer loadings, bulk polymerisation conditions and non-anhydrous conditions using technical grade LA.
