Azidodeoxychitin samples were obtained in the reactions of bromodeoxychitin and chlorodeoxychitin samples with sodium azide in polar aprotic solvents. A kinetic equation for a bimolecular reversible reaction was applicable to the azidation of 6-bromo-6-deoxychitin. The rate constant for the exchange with azide ion and the equilibrium constant were 7.36×10

Azidodeoxychitin samples were reduced with sodium borohydride in methyl sulfoxide for 24h at 60°C. Azido groups were consumed almost completely and the selectivity for the reduction to amino groups was higher than 80%.
