Abstract
Carboxymethyl xylan (CMX) was synthesized and characterized. A method based on quantitative 13C NMR was developed to obtain detailed structural information. The total degree of substitution (DS), partial DS at 2- and 3-O-positions, and the quantitation of each unit in CMX could be acquired simultaneously by this method without decomposing the polymer backbone, thus avoiding errors caused by polymer hydrolysis with traditional methods using HPLC and 1H NMR spectrometry. Moreover, different from methods of direct detection of carboxyl groups, such as acidometric and potentiometric titrations, this method was not affected by probable impurity introduced during carboxymethylation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
