Stereoselective catalysis proceeds with catalyst control but without the need to synthesize preformed chiral catalysts or ligands. Fe-based catalysts were discovered to effect the stereoselective polymerization of lactides starting from a single achiral precursor and the proper choice of an achiral silanol additive. Spectroscopic anal. of the polymer revealed that the stereoselectivity originates from an enantiomorphic site rather than a chain end stereocontrol mechanism. Fe intermediates that are stereogenic at Fe probably form in situ as a result of desymmetrization that occurs from a change in the metal coordination number The proposed mechanism is supported by a combination of spectroscopic measurements, model complexes, kinetic measurements, and DFT calculations
