This work demonstrates that acetylated maize starches (AMS) with varied degree of substitution (DS, 0.26-2.63) was synthesized in ionic liquids (ILs) (imidazolium chloride, imidazolium carboxylate and choline carboxylate) at 85°C without catalyst. The DS of AMS and reaction efficiency increased with decreasing alkyl chain length of cations or anions, while decreased as the choline cation replaced the imidazolium cation and the chloride anion replaced the acetate anion. The AMS synthesized in imidazolium-based ILs exhibited much higher hydrophobicity and thermal stability than the native starch. Rheol. properties of ILs and ATR-FTIR anal. of acetic anhydride/ILs mixtures indicated that a shorter alkyl side chain or the combination of an imidazolium cation and an acetate anion gave ILs lower viscosities and weaker interactions between acetic anhydride mols., which favored the acetylation of starch. These findings provide insights into the design of green processes to modify starch and the application of acetylated starch. The experimental procedure involved many compounds, such as 1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 65039-09-0) .
1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 65039-09-0) is an imidazolium chloride ionic liquid that can be used as:a solvent as well as catalyst for the depolymerization of oak wood lignin; a solvent in the hydrolysis of hemicellulose (xylan) to xylose using Brønsted acid catalysts.Recommanded Product: 65039-09-0
