Silylation of Ethyl Cellulose<br />
Results <strong>and</strong> Discussion<br />
Silylation of Ethyl Cellulose. Silylation of ethyl cellulose was carried out<br />
by employing various chlorosilanes as silylating agents, THF as a solvent, <strong>and</strong><br />
imidazole as a base as shown in Scheme 1, <strong>and</strong> the results are summarized in Table 1.<br />
