Fructose and mannose-based initiators for the synthesis of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) block copolymers
Leanne M. Stafast, Jan M. Peschel, Johanna Schreiber, Christine Weber, Michael Gottschaldt, Ulrich S. SchubertProtected fructose and mannose with suitable leaving groups can act as initiators for the CROP of 2-oxazolines. Subsequent deprotection and SPAAC to PLA affords block copolymers with carbohydrates as targeting ligands.
