The reaction of methyl 3,6-dichloro-3,6-dideoxy+D-allopyranoside with lithium chloride in NJ-dimethylacetamide (DMA) was studied in relation to the possible conversion of 3,6-dichloro-3,6-dideoxy-D-allose units in a chlorodeoxycellulose during synthesis in a LiCI-DMA solvent system.

โฆ Synopsis
The homogeneous preparation of a cellulose p-toluenesulfonate (tosylate) in N,N-dimethylaceta-mid+lithium chloride (DMAc-LiCl) is hampered by solvolysis of the p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (tosyl chloride). This Vilsmeier-Haack type reaction results in competitive formation of cellulosep-toluenesulfonate and chlorodeoxycellulose.
Highly p-toluenesulfonylated cellulose may be prepared in DMAc-LiCl with minimal incorporation ofchlorine by utilization of either triethylamine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine as base. A mechanism for the competing series of reactions is postulated.
