Preparation and characterization of the N alkylated,O carboxymethyled chitosan derivative

N alkylated Partially deacetylated chitin(DAC 85)was prepared via reductive N alkylation in aceques MeOH with lauraldehyde.Further,O carboxymethlation of N alkylatedchitosan was performed in 55% NaOH with carboxymethy chloride.A new type amphiphilic chitosan derivative was achieved.Elementary analysis and IR spectrume was performed to study the characterization of the chitosan derivative.
