Rapid and Stereoselective Ring‐Opening Polymerization of rac‐Lactide Enabled by a Chiral Cyclopropenimine–Thiourea Catalyst

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Chiral cyclopropenimine–thiourea organocatalysts enabled both high reactivity and precise stereocontrol in the ring‐opening polymerization of rac‐lactide. The bifunctional system exhibited a TOF up to 1,710 h−1 with Pm = 0.90 at 25°C, and achieved Pm = 0.99 at −78°C while maintaining a TOF of 16.3 h−1.
