- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which investigated N-carboxyethylation of chitosan by β-halopropionic acids in the presence of several proton and halogen ion acceptors. A review of the related literature is given. It observes that carboxyethylation of chitosan in aqueous solution is accompanied by the by-processes of hydrolysis and dehydrohalogenation of the β-halopropionic acid producing β-hydroxypropionic acid, bis(2-carboxyethyl) ether and acrylic acid.
