The direct and one-pot transformation of xylan into the biodegradable surfactants, alkyl xylosides, is aided by an ionic liquid

Abstract

Xylan, the most abundant and renewable hemicellulose, was directly converted in one step into alkyl xylosides, a family of biodegradable surfactants, using fatty alcohols and catalytic amounts of 10-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) in an ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Bmim[Cl]).
