Abstract:
A hyaluronan (HA)-derived disaccharide was synthesized bearing an n-pentenyl spacer arm, which facilitated disaccharide derivatization with a norbornene template. Subsequent ring opening metathesis polymerization of the monomer produced an HA-mimetic neoglycopolymer of low polydispersity.
