Group 4 salalen complexes for the production and degradation of polylactide

Abstract

In this communication we report the preparation of highly active catalysts for the production of polylactide and the subsequent conversion of polylactide to methyl lactate. The use of these catalysts for potential recycling applications is discussed.
