Abstract
Summary: Synthesis of fluorinated chitin derivatives has been achieved using chitinase from Bacillus sp. as a catalyst. 6′‐Fluoro‐ (1a), 6‐fluoro‐ (1b) and 6,6′‐difluoro‐ (1c) chitobiose oxazoline derivatives were newly prepared as TSAS monomers for chitinase. Ring‐opening polyaddition of these monomers proceeded effectively at pH 8.0–9.0 and 30–40 °C, giving rise to alternatingly 6‐fluorinated chitin derivatives (2a and 2b) from 1a and 1b, and fully 6‐fluorinated chitin derivative (2c) from 1c under total control of regioselectivity and stereochemistry. XRD measurements revealed that polysaccharides 2a and 2b had crystalline structures similar to that of α‐chitin.

## Abstract **Summary:** The title polymers, in which both the stem and the graft are biodegradable, have been synthesized for the first time in a one‐pot, lipase‐catalyzed, graft‐polymerization reaction (in bulk, at 70 °C) of __β__‐butyrolactone (__β__‐BL) and __ε__‐caprolactone (__ε__‐CL) onto ch
## Abstract Novel ether‐type chitin derivatives were synthesized by reacting alkali salts of chitin with 1‐chloropropane, propylene oxide and 3‐chloro‐1,2‐propanediol to prepare propylchitin (PPC), hydroxypropylchitin (HPC) and dihydroxypropylchitin (DHPC), respectively. The structures of these chi
