Synthesis of a linear polymer with pendent γ‐cyclodextrins

Abstract

The synthesis of a linear polymer with pendent γ-cyclodextrins based on polyallylamine (PAA), a commercially available linear polymer, is described. After the reaction of the polyallylamine with mono-functionalized γ-cyclodextrin derivatives, linear polymers with pendent γ-cyclodextrins were obtained. One compound was less water-soluble than the starting materials. By masking the remaining unreacted amines, an uncharged, highly water-soluble polymer was obtained.
