Abstract
A series of anilido-imine zinc complexes ortho-C6H4(CH=NAr)(NAr)ZnEt[Ar=2,6-Me2C6H3(2a); Ar=2,6-Et2C6H3(2b)] was synthesized, characterized and used as catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide in the presence of benzyl alcohol. The effects of the structures of catalysts and reaction conditions on the reactivity were investigated. The polymerization of L-lactide initiated by each of these complexes was found to take place with a controlled manner.
