This work investigated the biotransformation of ginger constituents (zingerone, [6]-shogaol, [6]-gingerol, and methyl-[6]-gingerol) by the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Experiments were carried out with and without deuterium-labelled compounds. The product metabolites were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography solid phase extraction-nuclear magnetic resonance. Substrates supplied to the fungus were incorporated into metabolic pathways mostly by oxidation reactions, including aromatic carbon–carbon coupling. Zingerone and [6]-gingerol biotransformation products included biphenol dimers. A biodegradation pathway for biphenol formation was proposed based on the presence of the intermediate 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methoxyphenol, commonly identified from [6]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol biodegradation. This intermediate likely originates from a Baeyer–Villiger reaction followed by hydrolysis. The C–C coupling of molecules could result in phenolic oxidative ortho–ortho coupling, suggesting that biphenol dimers are products of C. gloeosporioides laccase catalysis.

Sodium lignosulfonate (LS) was valorized to low molecular weight (Mw) fractions by combining solvothermal (SF) and catalytic hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation fragmentation (SHF) in a continuous flow system. This was achieved in either alcohol/H2O (EtOH/H2O or MeOH/H2O) or H2O as a solvent and Ni on nitrogen-doped carbon as a catalyst. The tunability according to the temperature of both SF and catalytic SHF of LS has been separately investigated at 150 °C, 200 °C, and 250 °C. In SF, the minimal Mw was 2994 g mol-1 at 250 °C with a dispersity (?) of 5.3 using MeOH/H2O. In catalytic SHF using MeOH/H2O, extremely low Mw was found (433 mg gLS-1) with a ? of 1.2 combined with 34 mg gLS-1. The monomer yield was improved to 42 mg gLS-1 using dual catalytic beds. These results provide direct evidence that lignin is an unstable polymer at elevated temperatures and could be efficiently deconstructed under hydrothermal conditions with and without a catalyst.

Phenethyl glycosides having phenolic or methoxy functions at benzene rings are substances widely occurring in nature. This kind of compounds has been shown to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. However, some of them are not naturally abundant, thus the synthesis of such molecules is desirable. In this paper, natural phenethyl glycosides 3 and 4 were first totally synthesized from easily available materials with overall yields of 50.5% and 40.1%, respectively. And a new synthetic route to obtain natural phenethyl glycoside 2 in 46.2% yield was also described.
