32. Conversion was measured by the ratio of the integrations of the methine protons of the lactide monomer (∼4.9 ppm) to the poly(lactide) product (∼5.1 ppm). Though the chemical shifts have some concentration dependence, the poly(lactide) signal is consistently downfield. No byproducts were observed.
