Chemical changes produced in the cellulose macromolecules by oxidizing agents

communication 6. The presence in oxycelluloses of carbonic ester groupings and their effect on the estimation of uronic carboxyl groups

Summary

  1. 1.

    The causes of the non-accord in determination of total and uronic carboxyls in oxycelluloses prepared by the action of NaOCl in acid and neutral media have been elucidated.

  2. 2.

    it has been established that these causes are 1) the participation in reaction of lactonized carboxyls and 2) the presence in these oxycelluloses of a small proportion of carbonic ester groups.

  3. 3.

    The carbonic ester groups in oxycelluloses are very unstable, being readily hydrolysed by dilute alkali in the cold and by acids on warming. The presence of these groups is one of the contributing causes of the high instability towards alkalis of oxycelluloses formed by oxidation in an acid medium.
