The homogeneous chemical modification of cellulose with succinic anhydride was investigated in a solvent system containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid and dimethylsulfoxide using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as a catalyst. The results showed that the degree of substitution of the succinylated cellulosic samples, in the range of 0.24-2.31, noticeably increased as compared with the products without any catalysts, indicating that NBS was a novel efficient catalyst for cellulose succinoylation in ionic liquids. Fourier transform infrared and solid-state cross-polarization/magic angle spinning C-13 NMR spectroscopies also provided evidence of succinoylation reaction. The results indicated that the reaction of hydroxyl groups at C-6, C-2, and C-3 positions in cellulose occurred. The thermal stability of the succinylated cellulose was found to decrease upon chemical modification.
