Synthesis of new monomers based on chloralose

In this research, D-mannose, D-galactose and D-glucose were used as starting sugars. Starting from these monosaccharides, the synthesis and characterization of acrylic and methacrylic polymers were investigated. As a result of anhydrous chloral and D-galactose reaction, 1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-galactofuranose was obtained. 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-galactofuranose was obtained, 2-O- trichloroethylidene -α-D-galactofuranose and 2,2-dimethoxypropane. In the next stage, 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-galactofuranose and epichlorohydrine were reacted and the result of this reaction epoxy ring was added to number 3 carbon. Epoxy rings may be opened with the base catalyst. The use of this property was performed ring opening reactions with acrylic and methacrylic acid. In this way, sugar-based monomers were obtained and investigated. Likewise D-glucose and D-mannose were used as starting sugar.5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-glucofuranose and 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-mannofuranose were obtained. The steps of D-galactose reaction were repeated for other sugars.
