description

Maltoheptaonamide modified polydimethylsiloxane was prepared applying a simplified synthetic pathway in the derivatization sequence of the carbohydrate. The products were characterized by 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The glucan side chains of these “sweet siloxanes” were elongated by enzymatic catalysis with potato phosphorylase.
