The depolymerization of lignin into valuable aromatic chemicals is one of the key goals towards establishing economically viable biorefineries. In this contribution we present a simple approach for converting lignin to aromatic monomers in high yields under mild reaction conditions. The methodology relies on the use of catalytic amounts of easy-to-handle metal triflates (M(OTf)x). Initially, we evaluated the reactivity of a broad range of metal triflates using simple lignin model compounds. More advanced lignin model compounds were also used to study the reactivity of different lignin linkages. The product aromatic monomers were either phenolic C2-acetals obtained by stabilization of the aldehyde cleavage products by reaction with ethylene glycol or methyl aromatics obtained by catalytic decarbonylation. Notably, when the method was ultimately tested on lignin, especially Fe(OTf)3 proved very effective and the phenolic C2-acetal products were obtained in an excellent, 19.3±3.2 wt % yield.

Highly efficient interconversion of a range of 1,3-oxathiolanes, 1,3-dithiolanes and 1,3-dithianes to their acetals at ambient temperature using N-bromosuccinimide or N-chlorosuccinimide and different types of alcohols and diols was investigated.
New Br?nsted-Lewis acidic quaternary ammonium ionic liquids: Synthesis, acidity determination and acidity-catalytic activity relationship

A series of new Br?nsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids, which are operational simplicity, high stability, low cost and applicable for scaling up, have been synthesized and their activity for acetalization was examined. The comprehensive studies on the acidity-catalytic performance relationship of the Br?nsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids were performed. IR spectroscopy results confirmed that the new Br?nsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids possess both Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites. The acidities were determined by Hammett method, and further studies on acidity-activity relationship revealed that the acidity played a key role in the acid-catalyzed probe reactions.

Visible-light-induced acetalization of aldehydes with alcohols

In this work, we have achieved a simple and general method for acetalization of aldehydes by means of a photochemical reaction under low-energy visible light irradiation. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes have been protected under neutral conditions in good to excellent yields using a catalytic amount of Eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Our visible light mediated acetalization strategies are successful for more challenging acid-sensitive aldehydes and sterically hindered aldehydes. Notably, this protocol is chemoselective to aldehydes, while ketones remain intact.
Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Synthesis of Terminal Acetals from Vinylarenes Assisted by π-Acceptor Ligands

Terminal acetals were synthesized from various vinylarenes and 1,2- or 1,3-diols using a simple PdCl2(MeCN)2/methoxy-p-benzoquinone (MeOBQ)/CuCl catalyst system and 1 atm of O2 under mild reaction conditions by the anti-Markovnikov nucleophilic attack of an oxygen nucleophile on the coordinated vinylarenes. Cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as MeOBQ and N-phenylmaleimide were especially effective as additives to afford higher yields of the desired terminal acetals. Kinetic experiments indicated that MeOBQ operates as a π-acceptor ligand for Pd to accelerate the reaction and that the dissociation of a chloride ion from Pd precedes the rate-determining step.
