Abstract

The reaction of reducing end groups in cellulose nanocrystals with dodecylamine was examined. Using a direct-dissolution solution-state NMR protocol, the regioselective formation of glucosylamines was shown. This provides an elegant approach to sustainably functionalize these bio-based nanomaterials, that may not require further reduction to more stable secondary amines.
