Abstract
A technological method for synthesizing optically pure L-/D-lactide by using a biogenic guanidine catalysis method. The method of the present invention comprises: by using biogenic guanidine creatinine (CR) as a catalyst and L-/D-lactic acid (90% of mass content) as a raw material, synthesizing optically pure L-/D-lactide by using a reactive reduced pressure distillation catalysis method. The method of the present invention has advantages that the used catalyst is biogenic guanidine creatinine and free of toxicity, metal, and cytotoxicity; the synthesized lactide is high in optical purity (the specific rotation of the L-lactide [α]25D=−276˜−280, and the specific rotation of the D-lactide [α]25D=280), and does not contain any metal; the amount of the catalyst used in reaction is low, the technological process is simplified (a process for rectifying and purifying a crude lactide product by using a conventional method is avoided); and the technological method is simple and convenient to operate and easy in industrial implementation.
