Step-by-step synthesis of monodisperse methacrylamidoalkyl oligolactates
This paper describes the facile step-by-step synthesis to graft lactic acid or lactoyl lactate onto primary as well as secondary alcohol derivatives of methacrylarnides via esterification. Elongation of the chains is achieved by repeating the coupling reactions with either hydroxyl-protected monolactate or hydroxyl-protected dilactate,
