Abstract: | Molten inorganic salt hydrates are highly efficient solvents forcellulose. The carboxymethylation of the polymer dissolved in this new group ofcellulose solvents was investigated. The homogeneous carboxymethylation ofcellulose in molten LiClO4 3H2O using sodiummonochloroacetate in the presence of NaOH is possible. The formation of CMC wasconfirmed by FT- Raman spectroscopy. Structure analysis by means of HPLC afterchain degradation showed the formation of CMC with a DS of 2 after a shortreaction time of 4 h. The derivatives exhibit a statisticaldistribution of substituents along the polymer chain if prepared in moltenLiClO4 3H2O as solvent. A substituent distributioninthe order C-6 > C-2 C-3 for anhydroglucose units (AGU) was concludedfrom 1H-NMR measurements. The synthesis of CMC in the swellingmediumLiCl xH2O (2 x 5) yields polymers with astatistical distribution of functional groups along the chain. The watercontentof the salt melts has a dramatic influence on the DSCMC. |
