The oxidative degradation of lignin under totally chlorine free conditions is one of the most relevant targets for the design of environmental friendly pulping and bleaching industrial processes. Methyltrioxorhenium was found a powerful and promising catalyst for the oxidation of both phenolic and non-phenolic lignin model compounds by use of hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant. Three different technical lignins, hydrolytic sugar cane lignin (SCL), red spruce kraft lignin (RSL) and a hardwood organosolvent lignin (OSL), that are representative examples of widely diffused para-hydroxyphenyl-guaiacyl, guaiacyl and guaiacyl-syringyl lignins, were also extensively degraded under similar experimental conditions.
Total syntheses of (-)-herbertenediol, (-)-mastigophorene A, and (-)- mastigophorene B. Combined utility of chiral bicyclic lactams and chiral aryl oxazolines

A nonracemic bicyclic lactam has been used to construct a chiral cyclopentane containing vicinal quaternary carbon centers in optically pure form, which is common to all of the title compounds. An oxazoline-mediated asymmetric Ullmann coupling was then utilized to establish chirality about the biaryl axis of mastigophorenes A and B. Through the course of this synthesis, it was clearly demonstrated that smaller chiral auxiliaries lead to higher levels of atroposelection, a previously unknown phenomenon of the asymmetric Ullmann coupling.
