“…One common method involves the use of (3‐chloro‐2‐hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) (Figure 4b) (Bayat Tork, Khalilzadeh, & Kouchakzadeh, 2017; Butrim, Bil'dyukevich, Butrim, & Yurkshtovich, 2016; Huang et al., 2019). Some other strategies that have been commonly applied to cellulose have also been applied to starch, to include carboxymethylation (Cai et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2019; Li, Wu et al., 2019; Zhang, Pan et al., 2017; Zhang, Chi et al., 2017; Zhang, Tao, Niu, Li, & Chen, 2017), hydroxypropylation (Fang, Fu, Tao, Liu, & Cui, 2020; Fu, Zhang, Ren, & BeMiller, 2019; Hu, Jia, Zhi, Jin, & Miao, 2019; Shaikh, Ali Tahira, Hasnain, & Haider, 2019) (Figure 4c), and oxidation (Li et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2015; Zhang, Ding, Gu, Tan, & Zhu, 2015; Zhao et al., 2015). Oxidation of C6 hydroxyl groups with catalytic TEMPO and bleach can be accomplished in a facile and environmentally friendly route in aqueous media (Figure 4d).…”
