Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(97)10104-6

With interest in clustering of bioactive chitooliogosaccharides of more than dp 6, a chitoheptaose derivatives 1 carrying tetradecanoyl and tetradecyloxy groups at the NH and the C-1 of the reducing end, was prepared. The hydrophobic groups were introduce
