Abstract

The lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia catalyzed the transesterification of a variety of monosaccharides with vinyl acrylate in pyridine to give the 6-acryloyl esters. The acrylate esters were polymerized in DMF with AIBN to give the poly(acrylate) products. Such a synthetic strategy has led to the synthesis of poly(methyl 6-acryloyl-β-galatoside) with M w =196 000 and M n =58 000 for a polydispersity of 2.9 which was highly water soluble and soluble in polar organic solvents. Addition of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate during AIBN-initiated polymerization in DMF resulted in water insoluble polymrs that swelled in aqueous solutions
