Indium trichloride, benzyl alcohol, and triethylamine (without an added 'directing' multidentate ligand) generate a catalyst in situ for the room temperature polymerization of D, L-lactide affording highly heterotactic polylactide of controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution.
