Regioselectively Functionalized Cellulose Derivatives: A Mini Review

Summary: The paper reviews recent developments in synthesis and characterization of regioselectively functionalized cellulose derivatives. It demonstrates the importance of protecting groups like triphenylmethyl- and thexyldimethylsilyl (TDMS) ethers in cellulose chemistry. The protected cellulose derivatives can be used for the preparation of 2,3-O-functionalized polymers. Moreover, the TDMS group opens up the synthesis of 3-O-ethers of cellulose that possess interesting properties in terms of structure in solution, water-solubility, and thermoreversible gelation.
