Copper (II) on chitosan is a chitosan-supported copper (II) (about 1.3 mmol/g) developed by Inoue et al. as a reagent for selective detection of reducible organic compounds. The Cu (II) on chitosan can selectively detect reducible organic compounds bearing structures changeable to ene-diolate (e.g. glucose, ribose) in basic aqueous solution with the formation of copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) as a signal of the reduction by the ene-diolate.
