Carbohydrate Research, 511. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2021.10846500086215https://repositorio.usc.edu.co/handle/20.500.12421/7152Sucrose 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.enMethacrylateMonomerSucrose esterUltrasoundArticle
