Abstract Background Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising pretreatment solvents for lignocellulosic biomass, but are largely prepared from petroleum precursors. Benzaldehydes from depolymerized lignin, such as vanillin, syringaldehyde, and 4-methoxy benzaldehyde, represent renewable feedstocks for the synthesis of ionic liquids. We herein report syntheses of novel lignin-derived ionic liquids, with extended N-alkyl chains, and examine their melting points, cellulose dissolution capacities, and toxicity profiles against Daphnia magna and E. coli strain 1A1. The latter organism has been engineered to produce isoprenol, a drop-in biofuel and precursor for commodity chemicals. Results The new N,N-diethyl and N,N-dipropyl methyl benzylammonium ILs were liquids at room temperature, showing 75–100 °C decreased melting points as compared to their N,N,N-trimethyl benzylammonium analog. Extension of N-alkyl chains also increased antibacterial activity threefold, while ionic liquids prepared from vanillin showed 2- to 4-fold lower toxicity as compared to those prepared from syringaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. The trend of antibacterial activity for anions of lignin-derived ILs was found to be methanesulfonate < acetate < hydroxide. Microcrystalline cellulose dissolution, from 2 to 4 wt% after 20 min at 100 °C, was observed in all new ILs using light microscopy and IR spectroscopy. Conclusions Ionic liquids prepared from H-, S- and G-lignin oxidation products provided differential cytotoxic activity against E. coli and D. magna, suggesting these compounds could be tailored for application specificity within a biorefinery.

AbstractIonic liquids (ILs) are effective in pretreating cellulose for enhanced enzymatic saccharification, however ILs can inactivate cellulases. To guide the selection of ILs, the activity of cellulase was correlated with COSMO-RS calculations and descriptors of ILs including hydrogen bond (H-bond) basicity/acidity, polarity and ion size. Trends were deduced using an anion-series and a cation-series of ionic liquids in aqueous solutions. The activity in the cation-series was best correlated with the size of varied cations, whereas the activity in the anion-series showed a pronounced correlation to H-bond basicity and polarity of different anions. COSMO-RS was further used to predict the solubility of cellulose in ILs, which was correlated with cellulase activity on IL-pretreated cellulose. The best correlations were found between the enzyme activity in the anion-series ILs and the logarithmic activity coefficients, the H-bond energy, H-bond basicity and polarizability, underlining that the anion plays a crucial role in cellulose dissolution.
