Abstract
Sodiummonochloroacetate and sodiumhydroxide were employed under differ ent conditions to prepare and optimize the carboxymethyl derivative of Leucaena glauca seed gum. The effects of concentration of reactants, reaction temperature and time have been interpreted in terms of degree of carboxymethylation as well as efficiency and rate of carboxymethyl ation reaction. The formation of the proposed derivative has also been supported by providing infra-red spectral characterization.
