Synthesis, Characterization, and Lectin Recognition of Hyperbranched Polysaccharide Obtained from 1,6-Anhydro-d-hexofuranose
摘要:
1,6-Anhydro-D-hexofuranoses, such as 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-glucofuranose (1), 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-mannofuranose (2), and 1,6-anhydro-alpha-D-galactofuranose (3), were polymerized using a thermally induced cationic catalyst in dry propylene carbonate to afford hyperbranched polysaccharides (poly1-3) with degrees of branching from 0.40 to 0.46. The weight-average molecular weights of polyl - 3 measured by multiangle laser light scattering varied in the range from (1.02 to 5.84) x 10(4) g.mol(-1), which were significantly higher than those measured by size exclusion chromatography. The intrinsic viscosities ([eta]) of poly1 - 3 were very low in the range from 4.9 to 7.4 mL.g(-1). The exponent (alpha) in the Mark-Houkwink-Sakurada equation ([eta] = KM(alpha)) of the polymers was 0.20 to 0.33, which is < 0.5. The steady shear flow of poly1 - 3 in an aqueous solution exhibited a Newtonian behavior with steady shear viscosities independent of the shear rate. These viscosity characteristics were attributed to the spherical structures of hyperbranched polysaccharides in an aqueous solution. Poly1 - 3 contained a high portion of terminal units of 31-43 mol % nonreducing D-hexopyranosyl and D-hexofuranosyl units, in which the D-hexofuranosyl units were 20-44 mol %. Moreover, polyl and poly2 showed a strong interaction to Concanavalin A due to the cluster effect or multivalent effect of numerous nonreducing saccharide units on their surfaces with binding constants in the range from 1.7 x 10(4) to 2.7 x 10(5) M(-1).

cellulose into long‐chain alkyl glycoside surfactants has been carried out following two different routes: (1) Direct transformation of cellulose to butyl‐, hexyl‐, octyl‐, decyl‐ and dodecyl‐α,β‐glycosides in an ionic liquid media and Amberlyst‐15Dry as catalysts, with mass yield of up to 82 %; and (2) two steps reaction with transformation of cellulose into methyl glucosides, with a procedure described

entry into the Sn-Beta-catalysed methyl lactate process using abundant hexose substrates. NMR spectroscopy is applied to show that the formation of methyl lactate occurs in two kinetic regimes for fructose, glucose and sucrose. The majority of methyl lactate is not formed from the substrate directly, but from methyl fructosides in a slow regime. At 160 °C, more than 40% of substrate carbon are masked (i
