✦ Synopsis

Abstract

New ammonium‐based cellulose solvents with triethylmethylammonium‐ and tributylmethylammonium cations and carboxylate anions were synthesized and investigated as potential solvents for cellulose. Triethylmethylammonium formate was found to dissolve cellulose. Small amounts of formic acid may be used to adjust the melting point of the organic salt and can increase the dissolution velocity of cellulose. Carboxymethylation as a common etherification reaction was investigated in the new ammonium‐based system. The watersoluble carboxymethyl cellulose obtained, had a degree of substitution as high as 1.55. An unconventional pattern of substitution was accessible.

## Abstract Co‐solvents can minimize two of the major problems associated with the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents for homogeneous derivatization of cellulose: high viscosity and limited miscibility with non‐polar reagents or reaction products. Thus, the effects of 18 solvents and 3 binary s
