CHELATING AGENTS

Research Abstract
The carbonyl compounds of organic substrates such as aldehydes, acids and ketones are very important in chemical industry owing to its wide applications in medicine and pharmaceutical purposes. Therefore, chemists have been focused a great attention for synthesis of such carbonyl compounds using different techniques. The most efficient method used for such purpose is the oxidation of the corresponding alcoholic substrates with a suitable oxidizing agent such as chromic acid, permanganate ion and cerium (IV) oxidants owing to the high potential values of the redox couples in their redox systems. Although, the natural occurring water-soluble macromolecules such as polysaccharides involving both carrageenans and chondroitin as sulfated macromolecules are of great importance owing to its wide applications in industrial technology particularly in the medicine, pharmacy and food industry, a little attention has been focused on their oxidation kinetics despite the presence of a lot of oxidizable moietiesfunctional groups within the monomers of their macromolecular chains. This fact may be
