Homogeneous acetylation of cellulose in a new ionic liquid.
Acetylation of cellulose has been accomplished in a new room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, in the absence of any catalysts, and cellulose acetates with a wide range of degree of substitution have been obtained directly under homogeneous reaction conditions.
