Cotton fabric was reacted with sodium N-methyl-bis (2-sulfatoethyl) amine in hake-cure reactions and with N-methyl-bis (2-chloroethyl) amine in wet-cure reactions. These reagents were selected so that the cross linkages and substituent groups in the chemically modified cotton would be amenable to analysis by current chemical techniques. The structural units developed by the reagent residues were isolated and identified by means of gas-liquid chromatography and electro- , phoresis. The nature and amount of the structural components of the reagent residues are related to the specific reagent and to the process of reaction. Simple cross linkages involving a single reagent unit constitute a small fraction (about 11-26%) of the total reagent residues. The predominating simple cross link develops between the 2-O- and 6-O-positions of D-glucopyranosyl units.
