Abstract

β-Cyclodextrin, amylose, and cellulose were partially methylated and acetylated in order to examine the relative reactivities of 2-, 3-, and 6-OH groups to alkylation and acylation. The partially methylated samples of the polysaccharides were treated with excess of ethyl iodide and sodium hydroxide in dimethyl sulfoxide to convert all of the free hydroxyl groups to ethyl ether groups. The partially O-ethylated and O-methylated polysaccharides were reductively cleaved with triethylsilane in the presence of trimethylsilyl methanesulfonate and borontrifluoride etherate (5 : 1 by mole) and the resulting 4-OH group was acetylated and benzoylated to form mixtures of eight 4-O-acyl-1,5-anhydroalditols. The relative ratio of the alditol esters were analyzed by gas chromatography to determine the degree of substitution at each position. A similar sequence of reactions was carried out with partially acetylated polysaccharides. The results indicated that the order of relative reactivities for methylation are 2-OH > 6-OH > 3-OH and for acylation are 6-OH > 2-OH > 3-OH regardless of the anomeric configuration.
