Notes:
By ring-opening copolymerization of 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-octadecyl-β-D-glucopyranose (1) with 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranose (2) using phosphorus pentafluoride as initiator in dichloromethane at 0°C, stereoregular copolymers 3, with M̄n = 6 · 103 to 24 · 103 were obtained. For debenzylation of copolymers 3, either the reduction with sodium in liquid ammonia or radical bromination-hydrolysis was applied, depending on solubility and copolymer composition. Poly[2,3,4-tri-O-octadecyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-stat-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)] (4,) exhibits characteristic solution properties arising from its amphiphilic structure. Polysaccharide 4, with mole fractions of trioctadecylated unit (x) below 0,03, are water-soluble and interact with magnesium 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) in water. The polysaccharide 4 (x = 0,29), which is soluble in chloroform, was found to solubilize an aqueous methyl orange solution in chloroform. Formation of micelles in water and reversed micelles in chloroform is suggested.
