Reducing-end “clickable” functionalizations of chitosan oligomers for the synthesis of chitosan-based diblock copolymers

Chitooligosaccharides (COS) produced by nitrous acid depolymerization of chitosan are unique chitosan oligomers due to the presence of the 2,5-anhydro-d-mannofuranose (amf) unit at their reducing end. In this work, we focused on the reductive amination and the oximation of the amf aldehyde group towards various functionalized anilines, hydrazides and O-hydroxylamines. The aim of this work was to synthesize new COS-based building blocks functionalized at their reducing end by different “clickable” chemical groups such as alkene, alkyne, azide, hydrazide and thiol. Targeted functionalized COS were synthesized in excellent mass yields and fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Our results showed these functionalizations are quantitative, versatile and can be easily performed in mild reaction conditions. Finally, these COS-based building blocks could be useful intermediates for the development of advanced functional COS-based conjugates, as illustrated in this work by the synthesis of new COS-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diblock copolymers.
