Summary: The paper reviews recent developments in synthesis and characterization of regioselectively functionalized cellulose derivatives. It demonstrates the importance of protecting groups like triphenylmethyl‐ and thexyldimethylsilyl (TDMS) ethers in cellulose chemistry. The protected cellulose derivatives can be used for the preparation of 2,3‐ O ‐functionalized polymers. Moreover, the TDMS group opens up the synthesis of 3‐ O ‐ethers of cellulose that possess interesting properties in terms of structure in solution, water‐solubility, and thermoreversible gelation.
