Abstract
A polyhydroxyalkanoate comprises a unit of formula (1): —(O—CH((CH2)mSASO2R)CH2C(═O))— wherein R is selected from the group consisting of OH, a halogen atom, ONa, OK, OCH3 and OC2H5; A represents a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon structure; m is an integer number selected from 1 to 8; and in the case where a plurality of units exist in the same molecule, R, A and m in one unit can be different from them in another unit respectively. A method of producing the polyhydroxyalkanoate comprises the step of reacting a polyhydroxyalkanoate comprising a unit of formula (18): —(O—CH((CH2)mBr)CH2C(═O))—, wherein m is an integer number selected from 1 to 8, and in the case where a plurality of units exist in the same molecule, m in one unit can be different from that in another unit, with at least one type of compounds of formula (19): HS-A1-SO2R15 wherein R15 is selected from the group consisting of OH, a halogen atom, ONa, OK, OCH3 and OC2H5 and A1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon structure, and in the case where a plurality of types of compounds exist in the same molecule, R15 and A1 in one unit can be different from them in another unit respectivel…
