Novel amphiphilic fluoroalkylated derivatives of xylitol,D-glucose and D-galactose for medical applications: hemocompatibility and co-emulsifying properties

1-O-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-Tridecafluorononyl)xylitol 6 was synthesized as a novel standard compound for the assessment of hemocompatibility and co-emulsifying properties in microemulsions for biomedical uses. 3-O-(1,1,2,4,4,5,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-Tridecafluoro-5-trifluoro-methyl-3,6-dioxanonyl)-D-glucose 9 and 6-O-(1,1,2,4,4,5,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-tridecafluoro-5-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dioxanonyl)-D-galactose 12 were synthesized by nucleophilic addition of protected carbohydrates to perfluorinated vinyl oligoether. Biological tests revealed very good hemocompatibility and co-emulsifying properties for the amphiphiles 6, 9 and 12.
