acid (MSA), 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (1,5-NDSA) and sulfuric
acid (SA) points were seen close together, where as the remaining
acids follow an approximately linear correlation.
As seen in Figs. 2 and 3, very small sulfonic acids like strong
acid trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) are not highly active
as expected. Therefore, having a small alkyl group does not help
to penetrate into the complex H-bonding network of cellulose. The
activity enhancement can be explained as a result of an adsorption
of alkyl/aryl sulfonic acids on to the cellulose surface, which is sup-
ported by the repulsion of the hydrophobic molecule from the bulk
of the water phase, thereby pushing in to the cellulose structure,
which causes the disruption of the cellulose H-bonding network.
This repulsion from water, sustained by the hydrophobic group is
not found in small acids like methanesulfonic acid and sulfuric acid.
Therefore, MSA and H2SO4 showed relatively weaker activity. On
the other extreme, water phase can exert a strong pushing towards
the cellulose surface in the case of 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid
(4-DBSA) with very large hydrophobic group, but the bulkiness can
make this molecule too big to penetrate into the H-bonding net-
work in cellulose, especially at lower temperatures, making 4-DBSA
a poor catalyst below 170 ◦C, however, a very effective catalyst
above 180 ◦C (Fig. 2).

4. Conclusion
In the series of sulfonic acids studied, 4-biphenylsulfonic acid (7)
appears to be the optimum size and shape to produce maximum
catalytic activity with high TRS and glucose yields at relatively low
temperatures, as seen in Figs. 2 and 3. This fundamental discov-
ery is a lead for a small molecule that can efficiently penetrate and
hydrolyze cellulose in the water phase at moderate temperatures
and pressure. This type of system would work like a simple artifi-
cial cellulase, and with the use of thermally stable small aromatic
