Bulk polymerizations of l, l-lactide initiated with SnCl 2, SnBr 2, SnCl 4 or SnBr 4 were conducted at various temperatures. No racemization was found in the range 100–160° despite long reaction times (48 hr). At 180° the reaction time needs to be shortened to a few hours to avoid racemization. The absence of racemization at such high temperatures is a clear indication of a non-ionic insertion mechanism. The highest number-average molecular weights (M ̄ n= 50,000) were obtained with SnBr 4 and SnCl 2. The molecular weights were essentially independent of the monomer/initiator ratio, yet they increased with the purity of l, l-lactide. With intensively purified, reactants M ̄ n s up to 10 5 may be obtained. Lactic acid or its linear dimer, which were detected by 1 H-NMR spectroscopy as contaminants of l, l-lactide, obviously play the role of co-initiators. It is also demonstrated that traces of HBr or HCl do not initiate cationic polymerization of l, l-lactide.
