Abstract
We report the controlled synthesis of boronic-acid terminated polylactides via the use of a protected boronic acid-functionalised ring-opening polymerisation initiator and the subsequent deprotection of the resultant polymer. We have demonstrated the utility of this approach to biocompatible polymer conjugates of biologically-relevant diols using an indicator- displacement assay.
