Poly(lactic acid) polymers (PLA) are presently the most attractive compounds in the field of artificial degradable and biodegradable polymers. In order to enlarge the family, and thus the range of accessible properties, stereocopolymers and copolymers with various co-monomers have been synthesized. However, very few are functionalized, i.e. include functional groups attached to the main chains or as part of the side chains. In the search for degradable PLA-type polymers bearing functional groups to serve as intermediates for further chemical modifications, we are exploring two different routes. The first one is copolymerization with a protected hydroxyl-bearing lactide-type monomer, namely 3-(1,2,3,4-tetraoxobutyldiisopropylidene)dioxane-2,5-dione. The second route consists of the formation of a carbanionic site in the a-position to intrachain carbonyl functions by using lithium N,N-diisopropylamide followed by the coupling of electrophiles. Recent advances in this search are presented using several examples. In particular, it is shown that OH-functionalized PLA-type macromolecules can be made fluorescent by chemical coupling. It is also shown that substituents can be attached to PLA-type macromolecules in solution or to the surface of PLA-based devices selectively.
