The potential of stereoselective controlled polymerization of DL-Lactide with [Ti(trisphenolate)O-i-Pr] 2 initiators was analyzed. The anhydrous solvent used in polymerization were passed through a plug of alumina immediately prior to use. The extent of conversion the residue and integrating the methine resonances of the polymer relative to the methine resonances of the polymer. Results show a first-order dependence on compound, consistent with a coordination-insertion mechanism, and titanium isopropoxide ligand is transferred to the end of growing polymer chain during initiation.
