Synthesis of modified monosaccharides, derivatives of glucose and galactose, having a highly fluorinated chain, as a library of synthetic buildingblocks for hyaluronicacid (HA) modified subunits has been developed. “Click” chemistry has been employed as a strategy for the synthesis of these molecules. 1,2,3-triazole ring derivatives were obtained with good to excellent yields.
Synthesis of hyaluronic acid components modified with longalkyl or fluorinated alkylchain has been described as potential scaffold for drug delivery systems. The strategy of introducing fluorinated motifs in sugar anomeric position via “click” reaction has been studied showing various reactivity when position 2 was substituted with trichloro- and trifluoroamide unit.
