•Cellulose laurate was prepared by a mild transesterification catalyzed with DBU.•The degree of substitution of cellulose laurate ranged from 1.47 to 2.74.•FT-IR and NMR analyses confirmed the attachment of side chains onto cellulose.•The thermal stability increased upon transesterification in AmimC...
