Lignin oxidation by MnO2 under the irradiation of blue light

Traditionally, conventional heat has been required for a large proportion of the oxidation and degradation process to utilise lignin from biomass. A photocatalysis system which is considered as a novel and green strategy for chemical reactions has been ap

Catalytic C–O bond cleavage in a β-O-4 lignin model through intermolecular hydrogen transfer

A base-free and redox neutral approach for the selective breaking of aryl ether bond (C–O) contained by a lignin model compound mimicking a β-O-4 linkage is reported. A palladium loaded metal-organic framework (MOF) was used as a catalyst for this purpose. The reaction proceeds through dehydrogenation of benzylic alcohol moiety followed by the hydrogenolysis of the ether bonds. Therefore, no external hydrogen source is required for the reaction to take place.

Cleavage∕cross-coupling strategy for converting β-O-4 linkage lignin model compounds into high valued benzyl amines via dual C–O bond cleavage

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.
