• Description: L-(-)-lactide is a compound that consists of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl group. It is used in the synthesis of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA), which serves as a growth factor for cells in culture. The hydroxy groups on PDLLA can be polymerized using cationic polymerization to form poly(d, l-lactide) (PDLL). This polymer has been shown to have potential use as both a scaffold material for tissue engineering and a drug delivery system. FTIR spectroscopy has shown that L-(-)-Lactide has two distinct absorption peaks at 1350 cm-1 and 1410 cm-1. Both peaks are attributed to stretching vibrations of the carbonyl groups. These two peaks are also indicative of its intramolecular hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group, where the peak at 1350 cm-
