Abstract
⺠Kinetics of cellulose acylation is conveniently studied by conductivity. ⺠Acylation of cellulose is not catalyzed by tosyl chloride. ⺠Imidazole catalysis occurs via intermediate formation of N-acylimidazole. ⺠Dependence on structure of N-acylimidazole is due to enthalpy/entropy compensation. ⺠Reason for catalysis is lower enthalpy and higher entropy of activation.
