3 results about "Carbohydrate derivative" patented technology

The invention relates to a method for synthesising macromolecules made up of units U that are mostly monosaccharides or monosaccharide derivatives, by successive elongation of a first unit U1 attached by a covalent bond to an anchor molecule soluble in organic solvents. The elongation takes place by coupling with a monomer or oligomer M having at least two functions. The method is characterised in that the anchor molecule comprises a polyolefin chain or a polyolefin oligomer or a polyalkene, with at least 5 monomer units, and preferably between 10 and 50 monomer units, the polyolefin chain preferably being a polyisobutene chain.

There is provided a compound comprising a structure represented by general formula (1) or ionized form thereof wherein A comprises a carbohydrate or a carbohydrate derivative; R1, R2, R3, R8, R9, and R10 are each independently H, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, or optionally substituted alkynyl; R4 and R7 are each independently optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, or optionally substituted alkynyl; R5 and R6 each independently comprises a hydrophobic moiety; Z1 and Z2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of –O–C(=O)–, –C(=O)–O–, –C(=O)–, –O–, –RaN–C(=O)–, –C(=O)–NRb–, where Ra and Rb are each independently H, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, or optionally substituted alkynyl; x is an integer ≥ 1; and y is an integer ≥ 0.

The present invention relates to new carbohydrate derivatives. The derivatives can be prepared via a method that involves direct amination. The derivatives can be used for various applications, for instance as surfactants.
