Water-soluble sodium 2,3,6-tricarboxylate cellulose (NaTCC) or sodium mesotartarate/monohydrated glyoxilate alternating co-polyacetal was prepared from regenerated cellulose in a yield of 82% by one-step oxidation with catalytic amounts of 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO), NaBr, and excess NaOCl in water at room temperature under alkaline conditions. The AZADO-oxidized product was shown to have an almost homogeneous NaTCC chemical structure by its 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The weight- and number-average molecular masses of the obtained NaTCC were 10,700 and 7000. When AZADO-mediated oxidation was applied to softwood bleached kraft pulp, a water-soluble oxidized product was obtained. However, it had a more heterogeneous chemical structure showing that the complete oxidation of the C2, C3, and C6 hydroxyls to carboxyls is difficult to achieve in native cellulose.
