Abstract
A chemo-enzymatic pathway was developed to transform 4-O-methylglucuronic acid (MeGlcpA) containing xylo-oligosaccharides from beechwood into clickable monomers capable of polymerizing at room temperature and in aqueous conditions to form unique polytriazoles. While the gluco-oligosaccharide oxidase (GOOX) from Sarocladium strictum was used to oxidize C6-propargylated oligosaccharides, the acid-amine coupling reagents 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide (EDAC) and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM) were employed and compared for their ability to append click functionalities to carboxylic acid groups of enzyme-treated oligosaccharides. While DMT-MM was a superior coupling reagent for this application, a triazine side product was observed during C-1 amidation. Resulting bifunctional xylo-oligosaccharide monomers were polymerized using a Cu(I) catalyst, forming a soft gel which was characterized by 1H NMR, confirming the triazole product.
