Cellulose selective etherification with

Most of the selective-etherification studies on polysaccharides have been made with cellulose, and nearly all of them have involved quantitative separation of the D-glucose derivatives formed on hydrolysis of the partially substituted celluloses. In view of their stability, ethers of polysaccharides are particularly suited to this approach. [Pg.60]

Abstract Polyfunctionality of carbohydrates and their low solubility in conventional organic solvents make rather complex their conversion to higher value added chemicals. Therefore, innovative processes are now strongly needed in order to increase the selectivity of these reactions. Here, we report an overview of the different heterogeneously-catalyzed processes described in the literature. In particular, hydrolysis, dehydration, oxidation, esterification, and etherification of carbohydrates are presented. We shall discuss the main structural parameters that need to be controlled and that permit the conversion of carbohydrates to bioproducts with good selectivity. The conversion of monosaccharides and disaccharides over solid catalysts, as well as recent advances in the heterogeneously-catalyzed conversion of cellulose, will be presented. [Pg.63]
