Novel method for preparing highly branched cellulose by anionic method using sodium naphthalenide

Abstract

Cellulose branched selectively at the C-6 position with glucose with about 0.6 branches per glucose unit was obtained from 2,3-di-O-n-butyrylcellulose and 2,3,46-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride
