Carbohydrate polymers(2021)
Abstract
For the first time the possibility of chitin use as an accessible and easily-modifiable support for an efficient Pd(II) catalyst has been demonstrated. The modification of chitin avoiding a noticeable chain scission or deacetylation, is achieved by sonochemical alkylation with 1-azido-3-chloropropan-2-ol followed by a convenient azido-alkyne click reaction. The obtained polymer represents an extremely rare case of the chitin derivative soluble both in water and organic solvents. The treatment of that derivative with imino-isonitrile Pd(II) complex solution yielded a chitin-supported Pd(II) complex. The latter could be obtained as a powder or as uniform nanoparticles in different size ranges. The nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter of 30 nm were shown to be the most efficient form of catalyst for the copperand phosphine-free Sonogashira cross-coupling in water.
