Abstract
Biomass derived oligo‐ and polysaccharides are important compounds for various applications, including biomedicine and material science. Their use, however, is often limited by inherent structural inhomogeneity of the starting materials. Here, a method for depolymerization of naturally occurring polysaccharides, including dextran, starch, xylan and galactoglucomannan, into well‐defined fragments of narrow polydispersities is described, based on the use of in situ generated CuI species under the commonly employed CuAAC reaction conditions. The main strength of the reported method is its high versatility, both in terms of substrate scope and operational simplicity.
