CARBOXYLIC ACID TYPE GLYCOLIPID DERIVATIVE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a glycolipid usable in a wide range as various kinds of functional materials by forming a stable molecular aggregate excellently dispersible in water from a readily obtainable raw material. SOLUTION: This carboxylic acid type saccharide derivative is represented by the general formula G-NHCO-(CH2)n-COOH (G is an aldose residue after removal of a reducing terminal hydroxyl group and the whole hydroxyl groups existing in the residue are protected; n is an integer of 6-20).
