I have being looking long and hard for easy plastics to made and recently I came across a paper saying that you can use manganese acetate III for acetylation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13811...
Would it be possible to make cellulose acetate this way?
Pardon me if it is a stupid question but the paper mentions all type of alcohols.
