ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Higher reaction efficiencies are seen in cellulose etherification reactions when the reagents are continuously added to alkali cellulose at elevated temperatures. In particular, mixed hydroxyalkylcellu- lose ethers made from a C3 or higher alkylene oxide and an etherifying agent other than an alkyle oxide are prepared at elevated temperatures with higher reaction efficiencies using this process. In an especially preferred embodiment, hydroxypropylmethyl- cellulose is prepared by continuously adding propylene oxide to heated cellulose containing a small amount of caustic, adding more caustic and then continuously adding chloromethane at elevated temperatures.
