The electrochemical oxidation of catechol has been studied in the presence of d ‐glucosamine and chitosan by using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction is studied at various scan rates and different concentrations of d ‐glucosamine and chitosan. The results indicate that the reaction system between catechol and d ‐glucosamine follows an EC mechanism, with a thin film product being produced on the electrode surface. Accordingly, the reaction of chitosan and catechol was studied to develop a means of crosslinking the chitosan to form polymer‐based gels.
