Abstract:Furan derivatives were prepared by hydrolysis of glucosamine derived from polyamino sugars assisted with pyrolysis in alkaline condition. Pyrolysis was carried out with autoclaving at 15 psi/121 degrees C/1 hour. The reaction was monitored by observing spectral characteristics at lambda(max) 545 nm with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. Alkaline hydrolysis favors the formation of furan derivatives in N-acetylglucosamine, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, but not in dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. These result… Show more
