Tocopheramines are a class of antioxidants which are distinguished from tocopherols (vitamin E) by the presence of an amino group instead of the phenolic hydroxyl group. α-Tocopheramine is intensively studied for biomedical applications but als...
α-Tocopheramine and N-methyl-α-tocopheramine are used as stabilizers in the spinning of cellulosic fibers from solutions in 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids. Upon aging, they form chromophoric degradation products, among which the spi...
Spinning of cellulosic fibers requires the prior dissolution of cellulose. 3-Alkyl-1-methylimidazolium ionic liquids have proven to be suitable solvents for that purpose, but the degradation of cellulose in the spinning dope can be severe. Suitable s...
