Carbon disulfide [75-15-0] is a clear colorless liquid that boils at 46°C, and should ideally be free of hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide. The reaction with alkaU cellulose is carried out either in a few large cylindrical vessels known as wet chums, or in many smaller hexagonal vessels known as dry chums. In the fully continuous viscose process, a Continuous Belt Xanthator, first developed by Du Pont, is used (15). 

Ammonia—Gas-Cured Flame Retardants. The first flame-retardant process based on curing with ammonia gas, ie, THPC—amide—NH, consisted of padding cotton with a solution containing THPC, TMM, and urea. The fabric was dried and then cured with either gaseous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide (96). There was Httle or no reaction with cellulose. A very stable polymer was deposited in situ in the cellulose matrix. Because the fire-retardant finish did not actually react with the cellulose matrix, there was generally Httle loss in fabric strength. However, the finish was very effective and quite durable to laundering. 

PyraZolines. l,3-Diphenyl-2-pyia2olines (7) (Table 2) aie obtainable from appiopiiately substituted phenyUiydiazines by the Knoii reaction with either P-chloro- or P-dimethylaminopropiophenones (30,31). They are employed for brightening synthetic fibers such as polyamides, cellulose acetates, and polyacrylonitriles. 

Natural Products. Many natural products, eg, sugars, starches, and cellulose, contain hydroxyl groups that react with propylene oxide. Base-cataly2ed reactions yield propylene glycol monoethers and poly(propylene glycol) ethers (61—64). Reaction with fatty acids results ia a mixture of mono- and diesters (65). Cellulose fibers, eg, cotton (qv), have been treated with propylene oxide (66—68). 

Cellulose esters are commonly derived from natural cellulose by reaction with organic acids, anhydrides, or acid chlorides. Cellulose esters of almost any organic acid can be prepared, but because of practical limitations esters of acids containing more than four carbon atoms have not achieved commercial significance. 

Mixed cellulose esters containing the dicarboxylate moiety, eg, cellulose acetate phthalate, have commercially useful properties such as alkaline solubihty and excellent film-forming characteristics. These esters can be prepared by the reaction of hydrolyzed cellulose acetate with a dicarboxyhc anhydride in a pyridine or, preferably, an acetic acid solvent with sodium acetate catalyst. Cellulose acetate phthalate [9004-38-0] for pharmaceutical and photographic uses is produced commercially via the acetic acid—sodium acetate method. 

Several derivatives of cellulose, including cellulose acetate, can be prepared in solution in dimethylacetamide—lithium chloride (65). Reportedly, this combination does not react with the hydroxy groups, thus leaving them free for esterification or etherification reactions. In another homogeneous-solution method, cellulose is treated with dinitrogen tetroxide in DMF to form the soluble cellulose nitrite ester this is then ester-interchanged with acetic anhydride (66). With pyridine as the catalyst, this method yields cellulose acetate with DS < 2.0. 

Cellulose acetate with improved solubiUty properties can be prepared from low quaUty wood pulps by multistage addition of the components (97) or by intermpting the reaction in the early stages, filtering, and continuing the acetylation with fresh reactants (98,99). 

High temperature acetylation of cellulose above 50°C produces cellulose acetate from low purity wood pulp cellulose in shorter reaction times. In a high temperature method recently disclosed (102), cellulose reacts with 200—400% acetic anhydride in the presence of <5% acid catalyst at 68—85°C for 3—20 min. After the acid catalyst is neutralized with magnesium acetate, the cellulose acetate is hydrolyzed at 120°C for two hours (103). Several modified catalyst systems have been developed for acetylation of cellulose above 90°C (89,90). 

Manufacture. Ethyl chloride undergoes reaction with alkah cellulose in high pressure nickel-clad autoclaves. A large excess of sodium hydroxide and ethyl chloride and high reaction temperatures (up to 140°C) are needed to drive the reaction to the desked high DS values (>2.0). In the absence of a diluent, reaction efficiencies in ethyl chloride range between 20 and 30%, the majority of the rest being consumed to ethanol and diethyl ether by-products. 

Etherification. The accessible, available hydroxyl groups on the 2, 3, and 6 positions of the anhydroglucose residue are quite reactive (40) and provide sites for much of the current modification of cotton ceUulose to impart special or value-added properties. The two most common classes into which modifications fall include etherification and esterification of the cotton ceUulose hydroxyls as weU as addition reactions with certain unsaturated compounds to produce ceUulose ethers (see Cellulose, ethers). One large class of ceUulose-reactive dyestuffs in commercial use attaches to the ceUulose through an alkaH-catalyzed etherification by nucleophilic attack of the chlorotriazine moiety of the dyestuff ... 

Chemical Types. A wide range of reactive groups have been investigated, with 20—30 used commercially and over 200 patented. These have been described in detail elsewhere (10,20). Because these reactive groups differ chemically the activation of the reactive systems is different as are the rates of reaction with cellulose, from one reactive system to another. This rate of reaction with cellulose, or reactivity, dictates the temperature and pH needed for dyeing. 

It is known that not all reactions proceed in the same manner on all adsorbent layers because the material in the layer may promote or retard the reaction. Thus, Ganshirt [209] was able to show that caffeine and codeine phosphate could be detected on aluminium oxide by chlorination and treatment with benzidine, but that there was no reaction with the same reagent on silica gel. Again the detection of amino acids and peptides by ninhydrin is more sensitive on pure cellulose than it is on layers containing fluorescence indicators [210]. The NBP reagent (. v.) cannot be employed on Nano-Sil-Ci8-100-UV2S4 plates because the whole of the plate background becomes colored. 

For example, the treatment of cellulose fibers with hot polypropylene-maleic anhydride (MAH-PP) copolymers provides covalent bonds across the interface [40]. The mechanism of reaction can be divided in two steps ...
