Efficient chemical recycling of poly(L-lactic acid) via either alcoholysis to alkyl lactate or thermal depolymerization to L-lactide promoted by Zn(II) catalysts by Maria Gentile, Licia Gaeta, Stefano Brenna, Claudio Pellecchia

“…Here we report two very efficient chemical recycling pathways for commercial high molar mass and highly crystalline PLA samples, both ones promoted by different imidazole[1,5-a]pyrid-3-yl)phenolate Zn(II) catalysts: (i) alcoholysis was easily achieved by simply treating the polymer samples in boiling methanol in the presence of 1 % Zn(II) catalyst, resulting in up to 99 % yield and selectivity in methyl lactate; and (ii) chemical recycling to the monomer was achieved by heating the polymer samples at 180 °C under vacuum or in a nitrogen flow in the presence of 0.1 % Zn(II) catalyst and a highly boiling alcohol, resulting in up to 99 % yield of L-lactide, having high chemical and steric purity, which could be repolymerized without any further purification.…”
