The method of producing a polylactide terminated with a phenol derivative of general formula 1, wherein R is NH2, OH or NHCOCH3, consists in a mixture of the corresponding phenol and lactide derivative, in a molar ratio of phenol derivative / lactide 0.01 - 0.1: 1, is heated in the presence of magnesium or zinc 2-ethylhexanoate as a catalyst, with a catalyst / lactide molar ratio of 0.0008 - 0.001: 1, at a temperature of 120 - 190 ° C, for 16-30 hours, under an inert atmosphere. |
