Abstract:
Microwave heating was applied to the reactions involved in the synthesis of 6-amino-6-deoxycellulose, 4. These included, cellulose solubilization, bromination at C-6, displacement of bromine with azide ion, and reduction of the azido group to an amino group. Compared to conventional heating, this approach had the advantages of shortening reaction times and retaining the degree of polymerization of 4.
