G. Mocanu et al., CHEMICAL-REACTIONS ON POLYSACCHARIDES .3. A NEW REACTION OF PULLULAN SULFOPROPYLATION, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, 27(3), 1993, pp. 249-257
The paper discusses the sulfopropylation of the microbial polysacchari
de pullulan with sodium gamma-chloro propyl sulfonate. The reactivity
of this new reagent was studied comparatively with that of propane sul
tone, their similitudes and differences as alkylating agents being poi
nted out; also, the concurrent reaction of alkaline hydrolysis was fol
lowed in the reaction media.
