Saccharide modified poly

Figure 3. Detection of saccharide modified poly(acrylic acid).

Some of the properties of dextrins may be easily and effectively modified. One of them is the solubility of dextrins. The hydrolysis of dextrins in the presence of a reversed micelle has been carried out as a part of model studies on the depolymerization of polysaccharides, and of poly- as well as oligo-saccharide waste, for the manufacture of ethanol and livestock feed. It was found that dextrin may be readily hydrolyzed in benzene by means of... 

This review presents the syntheses of different analogs of sucrose. Transformations of this di-saccharide at the terminal positions (Cl, or C6, or C6 ) provide modified sucroses such as amines, uronic acids, thiols, or phosphorus derivatives. Preparation of so-called higher sucroses i.e. derivatives in which the terminal positions are elongated by a poly-hydroxylated carbon chain is also reviewed. Special attention is directed to the synthesis and properties of macrocyclic derivatives crown- and aza-crown ethers with sucrose scaffold. Such macrocyclic receptors exhibit interesting complexing properties towards chiral ammonium salts.
