Fluorination of chitin was achieved by facile homogenous reaction of chitin solution with diethyl amino sulfur trifluoride (C4H10NSF3). The degree of substitution of the C6-hydroxyl functionality of N-acetyl-glucosamine repeat unit ranged from 50 to 98%, achieved by varying the reaction time from 1 to 144 h at room temperature. The use of pentafluoropropionic anhydride, trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride gave fluoro-chitin derivatives with 40, 10 and 5% substitution, respectively. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis support the identity of all fluorinated chitin derivatives. The fluorinated chitin derivatives were subjected to MTT assay using human (ATCC CCL-186) and mouse (ATCC CCL-1) fibroblast cell lines. Fluorinated chitin derivatives prepared from C4H10NSF3 at 1, 6, 12, 72 and 96 h showed good cell viability of 80-100% for human fibroblast and 60-70% for mouse fibroblast. The % cell viability for the other fluorinated chitin derivatives were above 60% for both cell lines. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
