Summary
-
1.
The loss of hydroxy groups in the oxidation of cotton cellulose with nitrogen dioxide vapor was studied with the aid of infrared spectra.
-
2.
The reaction is quasihomogeneous; in the first stage products are formed mainly by the oxidation of primary hydroxy groups, and in the second stage by the oxidation of primary and secondary hydroxy groups.
