Carbohydrate derivatives and processes of forming them

Claim 1

THE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN INSOLUBLE WATER RESISTANCE HIGHLY POLYMERIZED CARBOHYDRATE DERIVATIVE PRODUCT HAVING THE PROPERTIES OF A THERMOSETTING RESIN WHICH COMPRISES REACTING A UNIFORMLY 2-SUBSTITUTED HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSACCHARIDE HAVING A NH2 CONTAINING SUBSTITUENT CARRIED BY THE SECOND CARBON OF THE MONOSACCHARIDE UNITS OF THE UNIFORMLY SUBSTITUTED POLYSACCHARIDE PREPARED BY MIXING A NON-DIALYZABLE HIGHER MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSACCHARIDE WITH A LOWER ALKYL AMIDOGEN COMPOUND HAVING NOT MORE THAN FOUR CARBON IN THE ALKYL GROUP AND HAVING A PLURALITY OF AMIDOGEN GROUPS SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF AMIDES AND AMINES, SAID COMPOUNDS BEING MIXED AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM 80* C. TO 115* C. IN A NONAQUEOUS SYSTEM WHEREIN THERE IS PROVIDED A NONAQUEOUS SOLVENT FOR THE LOWER ALKYL AMIDOGEN COMPOUND HAVING A BOILING POINT AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE HIGHER THAN 80* C., TO REACT SAID POLYSACCHARIDE AND AMIDOGEN COMPOUNDS WITH THE LIBERATION OF AMMONIA TO FORM SAID UNIFORMLY 2-SUBSTITUTED HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSACCHARIDE HAVING A NH2 CONTAINING SUBSTITUENT CARRIED BY THE SECOND CARBON OF THE MONOSACCHARIDE UNITS OF THE UNIFORMLY SUBSTITUTED POLYSACCHARIDE; WITH AN ALDEHYDE TO PRODUCE SAID INSOLUBLE WATER RESISTANT HIGHLY POLYMERIZED CARBOHYDRATE DERIVATIVE PRODUCT HAVING THE PROPERTIES OF A THERMOSETTING RESIN.
