The perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) Aquivion PW98 is an amphiphilic solid superacid which is shown to catalyze the conversion of cellulose into amphiphilic alkyl glycosides (AAGs) in 85 % yield (with 97 % selectivity). The process involves a mechanocatalytic depolymerization of cellulose followed by a direct glycosylation with n-dodecanol. In comparison to H SO and solid acid catalysts commonly employed in cellulose processing, Aquivion PFSA PW98 is not only recyclable but also exhibits superior catalytic performances in terms of yield, selectivity, and reactor productivity.
