Abstract
AbstractThe accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups of the D‐glucopyranosyl units of slack mercerized grey yarn and of the same yarn restretched to its original length are compared with those of the original grey yarn, a purified printcloth, and a hydrocellulose. The study involved reactions of the celluloses with N,N‐diethylaziridinium chloride under conditions which ensure minimum conversion of the reagent by hydrolysis to 2‐hydroxyethyldiethylamine. Amylose was taken as a reference material in which the hydroxyl groups are assumed to be completely accessible. Selective accessibilities of the hydroxyl groups at C‐6 and C‐3 relative to those at C‐2 were determined with the same reagent by a method whose development has been described earlier. The results of this study are expressed as fractions of the hydroxyl groups at C‐2, C‐3, and C‐6 that are accessible to the reagent.
