Definitions

  • the present invention describes a process for the silylation of cellulose by reacting cellulose with a silylating agent in an ionic liquid.
  • Cellulose is the most important renewable raw material and represents an important starting material for, for example, the textile, paper and nonwoven industries. It also serves as a raw material for derivatives and modifications of cellulose, to which cellulose ethers, e.g. Methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose esters based on organic acids, e.g. Cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate, and cellulose esters based on inorganic acids, e.g. Cellulose nitrate, silylated celluloses, e.g. Trimethylcellulose, and others count.
  • cellulose ethers e.g. Methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose
  • cellulose esters based on organic acids e.g. Cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate
  • cellulose esters based on inorganic acids e.g. Cellulose nitrate
  • silylated celluloses e.g. Trimethylcellulose, and others count.
  • cellulose silylating agent such as trialkylchlorosilanes such as trimethylchlorosilane, hexamethyldisilazane or N 1 O-bis (trimethylsilyl) acetamide used
  • auxiliary base such as pyridine
  • the cellulose must be activated in an upstream step.
  • the cellulose is pretreated with ammonia, an alkylamine or mixtures thereof. To these heterogeneous systems thus obtained is then added the silylating agent and the silylation is carried out.
  • reaction mixture is initially heterogeneous, runs through a homogeneous phase and is usually heterogeneous again at high DS values (W. Mormann, Cellulose 10, 271 (2003) and Lieratur cited therein). This phenomenon makes a technical implementation practically impossible.
  • silylations of cellulose in dimethylacetamide / LiCl mixtures are described. These are silylations in a homogeneous phase - however, an upstream activation is necessary in order to obtain a homogeneous phase. This makes the process very expensive (W. Schempp et al., Das Textil, 38, 607 (1984)).

  • nitrogen atom is a suitable carrier of the positive charge in the cation of the ionic liquid, of which then, in equilibrium, a proton or an alkyl group can be transferred to the anion to form an electrically neutral molecule.
  • a cation in the synthesis of the ionic liquids a cation can first be generated by quaternization on the nitrogen atom of, for example, an amine or nitrogen heterocycle.
  • the quaternization can be carried out by alkylation of the nitrogen atom.
  • salts with different anions are obtained.
  • this can be done in a further synthesis step.
  • the halide can be reacted with a Lewis acid to form a complex anion from halide and Lewis acid.
  • replacement of a halide ion with the desired anion is possible. This can be done by adding a metal salt with precipitation of the metal halide formed, via an ion exchanger or by displacement of the halide ion by a strong acid (with liberation of the hydrohalic acid). Suitable methods are, for example, in Angew. Chem. 2000, 12, pp. 3926-3945 and the literature cited therein.
