Abstract

Three kinds of hydrophobic/acidic bifunctional ionic liquids, which contain two different anions, were synthesized and utilized as catalysts for the conversion of cellulosic saccharides into alkyl glucosides, which exhibit a high catalytic conversion for cellobiose and cellulose with a low degree of crystallinity; the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused.
