“…Chitosan is a non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable linear polysaccharide of randomly distributed β(1→4) linked D-glucosamine (>60%) and N-acetyl-Dglucosamine. It is obtained from the alkaline deacetylation of chitin and has emerged as a valuable polymer with several applications (Ravi Kumar, Muzzarelli, Muzzarelli, Sashiwa, & Domb, 2004), such as solvent sensing (Jatunov et al, 2015), non-lineal optics (Franconetti, Contreras-Bernal, Prado-Gotor, & Cabrera-Escribano, 2015), chiral recognition of enantiomers (Jafari, Tashkhourian, & Absalan, 2018), including carbamates (Bai, et al, 2017) and ureidyl derivatives (Wang, Xi, Chen, Huang, & Bai, 2017), and catalysis (Dekamin, Azimoshan, & Ramezani, 2013;El Kadib, 2015;Mahé, Brière, & Dez, 2015). From a catalytic perspective, chitosan can be used following two strategies, that is, directly as a heterogeneous catalyst or as a platform supporting the corresponding organocatalyst.…”
