Facile alcoholysis of l-lactide catalysed by Group 1 and 2 metal complexes

The application of simple metal amides MN(SiMe3)2as effective catalysts for the alcoholysis of cyclic esters are demonstrated. Excess dry methanol and L-lactide were added to a Schlenk flask at room temperature (RT) 1 mol% of MN(SiMe3)2, where M = Li, Na or K was added. A blank test was also perform...
