In the crystal structure of the title compound, C20H26O7, a lignin model compound, the asymmetric unit contains two molecules which adopt almost identical overall conformations with some deviation in the region of the terminal hydroxyl groups. The two molecules are linked by an intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond. They also develop intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Identifying the enzymes involved in lignin degradation by bacteria is important in studying lignin valorization to produce renewable chemical products. In this paper, the catalytic oxidation of lignin by a novel multi-copper polyphenol oxidoreductase (OhLac) from the lignin degrader Ochrobactrum sp. J10 was explored. Following its expression, reconstitution, and purification, a recombinant enzyme OhLac was obtained. The OhLac enzyme was characterized kinetically against a range of substrates, including ABTS, guaiacol, and 2,6-DMP. Moreover, the effects of pH, temperature, and Cu2+ on OhLac activity and stability were determined. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) results indicated that the β-aryl ether lignin model compound guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE) was oxidized by OhLac to generate guaiacol and vanillic acid. Molecular docking analysis of GGE and OhLac was then used to examine the significant amino residues and hydrogen bonding sites in the substrate–enzyme interaction. Altogether, we were able to investigate the mechanisms involved in lignin degradation. The breakdown of the lignocellulose materials wheat straw, corn stalk, and switchgrass by the recombinant OhLac was observed over 3 days, and the degradation results revealed that OhLac plays a key role in lignin degradation.

Summary A phenolic β-O-4 type lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (1) was treated with 70 wt% aq 1,3-butanediol solution at 160–200°C to investigate the delignification mechanism under HBS (high-boiling solvent) pulping conditions. The following compounds were identified from the reaction products by use of GC-MS: guaiacol (2), coniferyl alcohol (3), γ-etherified coniferyl alcohols (4) and α-etherified guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ethers (5), but acidolysis products, such as Hibbert's ketones were not detected. These results strongly suggest that the phenolic β-O-4 linkage was cleaved homolytically under HBS pulping conditions. The cleavage of β-ether exhibited a pseudo first-order rate behavior. The pseudo first-order rate constants were as follows: k = 0.94 × 10−2 min−1 at 160 °C; k = 1.97 × 10−2 min−1 at 170°C; k = 3.22 × 10−2 min−1 at 180 °C; k = 9.76 x 10−2 min−1 at 200 °C. The activation energy was 98.3 kJmol−1. The formation of higher molecular weight compounds was confirmed by GPC. It is highly probable that the oligomeric products were derived from the recombination of phenoxy radicals formed by homolysis of the β-aryl ether.

Summary A phenolic β-O-4 type lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, was treated with 70 wt % aq 1,4-butanediol solution at 180°C to investigate the delignification mechanism under high-boiling solvent (HBS) pulping conditions. Thirteen compounds including four monomers, six dimers, two trimers and a tetramer were isolated from the reaction products. Most of these products were generated by recombination of phenoxy radicals formed by homolysis of the β-aryl ether. The results suggest that phenolic β-O-4 linkages in lignin are cleaved homolytically (radical mechanism) via quinone methide intermediates under HBS pulping conditions.
