An efficient and straightforward reaction protocol for the conversion of lignin model compounds was developed based on a simple system consisting of a base, oxygen, and a green solvent under mild conditions in the absence of metals. This protocol was successfully applied to the cleavage of both 'β-O-4' dimeric and trimeric compounds, and a controlled selective degradation was achieved depending on the bond type. The feasibility of this method to provide aromatic compounds in high yields from lignin by a sequential oxidative dehomologation reaction was clearly demonstrated.

Lignin is the most recalcitrant of the three components of lignocellulosic biomass. The strength and stability of the linkages have long been a great challenge for the degradation and valorization of lignin biomass to obtain bio-fuels and commercial chemicals. Up to now, the selective cleavage of C–O linkages of lignin to afford chemicals contains only C, H and O atoms. Our group has developed a cleavage/cross-coupling strategy for converting 4-O-5 linkage lignin model compounds into high value-added compounds. Herein, we present a palladium-catalyzed cleavage/cross-coupling of the β-O-4 lignin model compounds with amines via dual C–O bond cleavage for the preparation of benzyl amine compounds and phenols.

Because lignin is a macromolecule that is a sustainable source of aromatic compounds, model substrates are commonly used to increase our understanding of its complex structure. However, few methods have been described for the synthesis of these models. Herein, we describe a new route towards the synthesis of β-O-4 lignin models by intermolecular O-H insertion reactions with simple and stable diazocarbonyls. The benefits of this developed method were shorter reaction times and high yields, as well as mild and environmentally friendly conditions. This journal is

Selective cleavage and functionalization of C?C bonds have important applications in organic synthesis and biomass utilization. However, functionalization of C?C bonds by controlled cleavage remains difficult and challenging because they are inert. Herein, we describe an unprecedented efficient protocol for the breaking of successive C?C bonds in alcohols to form esters with one or multiple carbon atoms less using heterogeneous cobalt nanoparticles as catalyst with dioxygen as the oxidant. A wide range of alcohols including inactive long-chain alkyl aryl alcohols undergo smoothly successive cleavage of adjacent ?(C?C)n? bonds to afford the corresponding esters. The catalyst was used for seven times without any decrease in activity. Characterization and control experiments disclose that cobalt nanoparticles are responsible for the successive cleavage of C?C bonds to achieve excellent catalytic activity, while the presence of Co-Nx has just the opposite effect. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a tandem sequence reaction is involved in this process.

Developing highly efficient catalyst systems to transform lignin biomass into value-added chemical feedstocks is imperative for utilizing lignin as renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Recently, the pre-activated strategy involving the selective oxidat
Self-hydrogen transfer hydrogenolysis of β-O-4 linkages in lignin catalyzed by MIL-100(Fe) supported Pd-Ni BMNPs

A MIL-100(Fe) supported Pd-Ni BMNP catalyst has been fabricated, and the catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance toward the intramolecular transfer hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds and organosolv lignin. Alcoholic groups (CαH-OH) of lignin were exploited as the hydrogen source, and selective cleavage of β-O-4 linkages in lignin was realized without an extra hydrogen donor. This protocol was suitable for organosolv lignin as well as model compounds; several phenols and functionalized acetophenones were detected when extracted lignin was treated in our system. The catalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic stability during the reaction process, which can be ascribed to the porous structure and the strong water stability of MIL-100(Fe). The excellent catalytic performance of Pd1Ni4/MIL-100(Fe) highlights the "synergistic effect" between the BMNPs and the functional synergy between MNPs and MOFs, and our work shows the bright future of BMNPs and MOFs in the development of catalysts for sustainable chemistry.
