A predetermined amount of the catalyst shown in Table 2 was added to 200 g, and the mixture was heated and melted at 180 to 220 ° C. for 4 hours under a reduced pressure of about 30 mmHg by a water jet pump. After that, the pressure was reduced to 0.7 mmHg by switching to a high vacuum pump to obtain lactide that distilled at 92 to 105 ° C. The yield, purity and melting point of the lactide obtained are shown in Table 2.
