“…However, native starch can not meet the demands for further industrial applications on account of lacking active groups 2014; Zhang, Wei, Vijaya Kumar, Rasheed, & Zhou, 2014), anticancer (Kumar et al, 2011), antimalarial (Pereira et al, 2014), and antioxidant (Tan, Li, Li, Dong & Guo, 2016), have also facilitated the chemical modification of polysaccharide with 1,2,3-triazoles. Meanwhile, alkylation of 1,2,3-triazoles can provide the 1,2,3-triazolium cations, which have been prepared for novel ionic liquids (Mudraboyina, Obadia, Abdelhedi-Miladi, Allaoua, & Drockenmuller, 2015;Obadia, Crépet, Serghei, Montarnal, & Drockenmuller, 2015;Obadia et al, 2014) and catalysts (Aizpurua et al, 2014;Jha & Jain, 2013;Ohmatsu, Hamajima, & Ooi, 2012) because of high thermal stability, tunable solubility, and low flammability . However, although the 1,2,3-triazole-linked starch derivatives have been reported and described, to our knowledge there are no reports on synthesis and bioactivity of starch derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazolium cations so far.…”
