Preparation of acetoacetylated wood meal and its properties. Part 1. Preparation of parameter and preliminary evaluation of the antifungal activity

Keywords: acetoacetylation, antifugal test, chemical modification, diketene, ?-ketoester

Acetoacetylated wood meal (AAWM) was prepared and a preliminary evaluation of its antifungal activity was carried out. Acetoacetylation of wood meal proceeded almost quantitatively with diketene under optimal reaction conditions, even as a heterogeneous reaction. Diketene concentration was the most important governing factor for this reaction. AAWM with a high weight percentage gain inhibited the fungal growth of Fomitopsis palustris.
