Under the assistance of ¹³C NMR and ¹H-¹³C HSQC, we develop a novel ¹H NMR assay for the substitution sites and degrees in hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) by optimizing sample preparation and measurement method. We find that the chemical shift of HOD peak increases linearly with the increase of DCl concentration but declines with the rise of measurement temperature. According to the regression line, the HOD peak could be moved to a desired position of non-interference with other peaks by changing DCl concentration. Other DCl-responsive peaks are found and elucidated. Accordingly, the substitution fraction (NH₂-substitution and OH-substitution) and the degree of acetylation are well discriminated and determined. The total molar degree of substitution (MS) obtained is basically consistent with those of elemental analysis and the existing NMR methods. This structural analysis is extendable to other amino-containing saccharides. The ¹H NMR method could be used widely in acid-soluble polysaccharides and their derivatives.
