Ring opening polymerization of lactides and lactones by multimetallic alkyl zinc complexes derived from the acids Ph2C(X)CO2H (X = OH, NH2).

The reaction of the dialkylzinc reagents R2Zn with the acids 2,2-Ph2C(X)(CO2H), where X ¼ NH2, OH, i.e. 2,20-diphenylglycine (dpgH) or benzilic acid (benzH2), in toluene at reflux temperature afforded the tetranuclear ring complexes [RZn(dpg)]4, where R ¼ Me (1), Et (2), 2-CF3C6H4 (3), and 2,4,6-F3C...
