In this review, attention is focused on the use of group 3 metal complexes for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide to give polylactides (PLAs). Synthesis of PLAs has been studied intensively due to their biocompatible and biodegradable properties and their potential applications in medical and agricultural fields. ROP of lactide, a cyclic diester of lactic acid, provides PLA. This review includes our recent research results and implications in developing new amino-bis (phenolate) group 3 initiators for the synthesis of polyesters.
