A series of dimethylaluminum complexes <b>(L</b><sup><b>1a</b>-<b>i</b></sup> )AlMe<sub>2</sub> (<b>2a</b>-<b>i</b>, where <b>HL</b><sup><b>1a</b>-<b>i</b></sup> = 2-(2'-ArNH)phenyl-4-R<sub>1</sub>-oxazoline) bearing chiral, bidentate anilido-oxazolinate ligands have been prepared and characterized. Six of the complexes, in the presence of an alcohol cocatalyst, are shown to be active initiators for the stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of <i>rac</i>-lactide in toluene solution and und ...[more]
