Saccharidic monomers and a macromonomer were synthesized and copolymerized in the presence of divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker in conditions of separation of phases to give hydrophilic nanostructured sugar-based vinyl copolymers. Appropriate model molecules such as N-benzyl-D-gluconamide for the saccharidic copolymers and 4-(4-chlorobutoxy)benzaldehyde and (E)-4-(4-chloro-2-butenyloxy) benzaldehyde for electrophilic reagents prefiguring possible copper amine oxidase inhibitors allowed identification of conditions for useful monofunctionalizations mainly at the position 2 of the saccharidic units. The examined samples of the nanostructured copolymers from one of the monomers proved to be stable enough to tolerate the functionalization reactions without loss of morphology.

Abstract
Saccharidic monomers and a macromonomer were synthesized and copolymerized in the presence of divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker in conditions of separation of phases to give hydrophilic nanostructured sugar-based vinyl copolymers. Appropriate model molecules such as N-benzyl-D-gluconamide for the saccharidic copolymers and 4-(4-chlorobutoxy)benzaldehyde and (E)-4-(4-chloro-2-butenyloxy) benzaldehyde for electrophilic reagents prefiguring possible copper amine oxidase inhibitors allowed identification of conditions for useful monofunctionalizations mainly at the position 2 of the saccharidic units. The examined samples of the nanostructured copolymers from one of the monomers proved to be stable enough to tolerate the functionalization reactions without loss of morphology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
