Item Fast and selective synthesis of mono-substituted sucrose methacrylate ester monomer(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Rojas Sterling, Juan Camilo; Orduña Ortega, Julieth; Metzker, Gustavo; Boscolo, Mauricio; Mora Vargas, Jorge AndresSucrose methacrylate (SM) is a key monomer for synthesizing biocompatible polymers with a carbohydrate core. However, controlled SM synthesis is challenging due to the possible formation of regio-isomers. This study describes SM synthesis that involves ultrasound irradiation of a homogeneous basic medium. The selectivity for mono-substituted SM was 86% within 30 min of reaction. The newly developed methodology is faster and more selective than that of mono-substituted SM synthesis already described in the literature.
