Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for acylating poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof, by dissolving them in an ionic liquid and reacting them with a ketene, and to novel acylated poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method for acylating polysaccharides or oligosaccharides in which a polysaccharide or oligosaccharide is dissolved in at least one ionic liquid and, in step A), is treated with at least one acid, optionally with the addition of water (step A1), or optionally with the addition of water at an elevated temperature (step A2), and the polysaccharides or oligosaccharides so obtained, the DP of which is lower than that of the polysaccharides or oligosaccharides used, is reacted in step B) with an acylating agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for silylating poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof, by dissolving them in an ionic liquid and reacting them with a silylating agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for breaking down cellulose by dissolving the cellulose in an ionic liquid and treating it with a nucleophile.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method for producing acetals of poly-, oligo- or disaccharides by dissolving them in at least one ionic liquid and then reacting them with a vinylether. The resulting acetalized poly- or oligosaccharides can be cross-linked by treatment with acid. The present invention relates also to acetals of poly-, oligo- or disaccharides and cross-linked poly- or oligosaccharides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for breaking down cellulose by dissolving the cellulose in an ionic liquid and treating it at elevated temperatures, optionally in the presence of water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for breaking down cellulose in solution by dissolving the cellulose in an ionic liquid and treating it with an acid, optionally while adding water.
