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]).
