Abstract: Based on tyrosine, 4-hydroxybenzylglycolide was synthesized. Its study in ring-opening copolymerization with lactides in view of the ability of the phenolic hydroxy group to initiate polymerization was performed experimentally and with DFT modeling.

Keywords: coordination catalysis, functionalization, glycolides, lactides, organocatalysis, polyesters, phenols, ring-opening poly-merization.
