Abstract: | Cellulose esters containing adipates and other ester groups are synthesized by the reaction of commercially available cellulose esters in solution with the benzyl monoester of adipoyl chloride. The products, cellulose adipate esters in which the distal end of the adipate moiety is a benzyl ester, were easily converted to cellulose adipate derivatives by Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation. These cellulose adipate derivatives are promising biopolymers for drug delivery and other applications in which water-dispersion or swelling are desired. |
