Participants

Reaction Steps

0.2 g of Polymer 4 was dissolved in 8 ml of DMF in 25 mL single-neck round bottom flask. 0.2 g of 1-thio-β-D-glucose was added, following by 0.5 g of anhydrous K2CO3. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 hrs, and then transferred into a dialysis tube for dialysis against water for 2 days (10 water changes). The solution obtained in dialysis tube was then transferred into a single-neck round bottom flask. After removal of water, glucose-functionalized Polymer 4 was obtained as a black solid.
