Metal-free Catalytic Reactions to Improve Industrial Production of Isotactic PolyLactide (PLA) Two novel reactions that, when paired, yield an effective, metal-free, one-pot process to produce isotactic poly(L-lactide) from the meso-lactide waste product of conventional poly(lactide), or PLA, production. May be utilized to either improve i-PLLA yield or to produce value-added side product (racemic mixture of L- and D- lactide).At a Glance: The...
