5. The mechanism of the DMAP-catalyzed ROP of lactide and related O -carboxy-anhydrides has been investigated computationally. In addition to strong basic activation of the alcohol, the acidic o -hydrogen atoms were predicted to slightly activate the monomer by nonclassical hydrogen bonding: Thillaye du Boullay, O.; Marchal, E.; Martin-Vaca, B.; Cossio, F.
