A commercial chitin, regenerated chitin prepared from chitin solutions in 6.8% NaOH and N-acetylated chitosans with degrees of N-acetylation (DNAc) of 77-93% were subjected to oxidization in water with NaClO and catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy radical (TEMPO) and NaBr. When regenerated chitin with DNAc of 87% and N-acetylated chitosan with DNAc of 93% were used as starting materials, water-soluble beta-1,4-linked poly-N-acetylglucosaminuronic acid (chitouronic acid) Na salts with degrees of polymerization of ca. 300 were obtained quantitatively within 70 min. On the other hand, the original chitin and N-acetylated chitosan with DNAc of 77% did not give water-soluble products, owing to incomplete oxidation. The high crystallinity of the original chitin brought about low reactivity, and the high C2-amino group content of the N-acetylated chitosan with DNAc of 77% led to degradations rather than the selective oxidation at the C6 hydroxyls. The obtained chitouronic acid had low viscosities in water, and clear biodegradability by soil microorganisms. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
