Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a polysaccharide derivative in which the use of a reagent such as an acid catalyst is not needed and a reaction can be smoothly progressed without causing any side reactions. A method for producing a polysaccharide derivative of the present invention includes a step of dissolving a raw material including a polysaccharide in at least one ionic liquid having an anion which is a non-carboxylate anion and reacting the raw material with an acyl group donor, a conjugate acid of the anion having a pKa of 4 or higher in vacuum.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a polysaccharide derivative comprising: dissolving a raw material comprising a polysaccharide in an ionic liquid having an anion which is a non-carboxylate anion, wherein a conjugate acid of the non-carboxylate anion has a pKa of 4 or higher in vacuum, and reacting the raw material with an acyl group donor, wherein the anion is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted phenolate, a substituted or unsubstituted pyridinolate, a substituted or unsubstituted pyrimidinolate, a substituted or unsubstituted 2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropurin-7-ide, and a substituted or unsubstituted imidazol-1-ide. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the anion is selected from the group consisting of the following formulae: 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polysaccharide is cellulose. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acyl group donor is a chain or cyclic ester, an aldehyde, a carboxylic acid halide or a carboxylic acid anhydride.
