CAS 95-96-5: Lactide

Description: Lactide, with the CAS number 95-96-5, is a cyclic diester derived from lactic acid, specifically a dimer of lactic acid. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and acetone but has limited solubility in water. Lactide is notable for its role in the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic made from renewable resources. The compound exists in two stereoisomeric forms, L-lactide and D-lactide, which can combine to form a racemic mixture. Lactide is characterized by its ability to undergo ring-opening polymerization, a process that allows it to form long polymer chains, making it valuable in various applications, including biodegradable plastics, medical devices, and drug delivery systems. Additionally, lactide is non-toxic and biocompatible, which enhances its appeal in biomedical applications. Its production and use align with sustainable practices, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly materials.
