We prepared the small pseudopeptide Lau-l-Dopa(OBn)2-d-Oxd-OBn (Lau = lauric acid; l-Dopa = l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; d-Oxd = (4R,5S)-4-methyl-5-carboxyl-oxazolidin-2-one; Bn = benzyl) through a number of coupling reactions between lauric acid, protected l-Dopa and d-Oxd with an excellent overall yield. The ability of the product to form supramolecular organogels has been tested with different organic solvents of increasing polarity and compared with the results obtained with the small pseudopeptide Fmoc-l-Dopa(OBn)2-d-Oxd-OBn. The mechanical and rheological properties of the organogels demonstrated solvent-dependent properties, with a storage modulus of 82 kPa for the ethanol organogel. Finally, to have a preliminary test of the organogels’ ability to adsorb pollutants, we treated a sample of the ethanol organogel with an aqueous solution of Rhodamine B (RhB) for 24 h. The water solution slowly lost its pink color, which became trapped in the organogel.

We successfully dissolved cedar powder with tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide ([P4 4 4 4]OH) aqueous solution at 60°C. The dissolution was accelerated by the addition of H2O2. At the initial stage, cellulose was more soluble than hemicellulose and lignin. Both hemicellulose and lignin were gradually dissolved in this solution containing H2O2. Cellulose chains were revealed to be cut into shorter chains in this solution. The lignin network was also found to be partly broken at 60°C. These steps induced components with higher-molecular-weight fractions that cannot be extracted with polar ionic liquids to dissolve. Also, low-molecular-weight fractions such as vanillin and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural were found in the resulting solution. Breakage of ether bonds of polysaccharides and lignin and further oxidation were attributed to the active oxygens generated from H2O2. The aqueous mixture reported here is a protocol that can be used to dissolve woody biomass under mild conditions.
