3D-QSAR studies of the chemical modification of hydroxyl groups of biomass (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) using quantum chemical descriptors

The models of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) are indeed useful for understanding the mechanism of chemical modification of wood by the method of acetylation. This study shows that the electrophile index ω in combination with other descriptors, namely LUMO energy, HOMO, hardness...
