Lignin provides a potential sustainable source for production of electron-rich aromatic compounds. Recently, electrochemical lignin degradation via an oxidation/reduction sequence under mild conditions has garnered much attention within the lignin community, as electrochemistry simplifies redox reactions and offers an electron source/sink for synthesis without using stoichiometric oxidants or reductants. This paper describes a fundamental approach for the electrochemical fragmentation of the primary connection in native lignin, β-O-4. Potential-controlled electrolysis enables selective reduction and provides fragmentation products and/or coupling products in isolated yields of 59-92%.

Employing photo-energy to drive the desired chemical transformation has been a long pursued subject. The development of homogeneous photoredox catalysts in radical coupling reactions has been truly phenomenal, however, with apparent disadvantages such as the difficulty in separating the catalyst and the frequent requirement of scarce noble metals. We therefore envisioned the use of a hyper-stable III-V photosensitizing semiconductor with a tunable Fermi level and energy band as a readily isolable and recyclable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for radical coupling reactions. Using the carbonyl coupling reaction as a proof-of-concept, herein, we report a photo-pinacol coupling reaction catalyzed by GaN nanowires under ambient light at room temperature with methanol as a solvent and sacrificial reagent. By simply tuning the dopant, the GaN nanowire shows significantly enhanced electronic properties. The catalyst showed excellent stability, reusability and functional tolerance. All reactions could be accomplished with a single piece of nanowire on Si-wafer. This journal is
