AbstractA non-phenolic C6-C2-type lignin model compound with the β-O-4 bond, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol (I), was acidolyzed in aqueous 82% 1,4-dioxane containing HBr, HCl, or H2SO4 with a concentration of 0.2 mol/L at 85 ℃ to examine the differences between these acidolyses. Compound I primarily converted to an enol ether compound, 1-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethene (II), via the benzyl cation followed by acidolytic β-O-4 bond cleavage regardless of the acid-type, although the disappearance rates of compound I were remarkably different (HBr > HCl >> H2SO4). Acidolyses of compound II using these acids under the same conditions showed a similar tendency, but the rate differences were much smaller than in the acidolyses of compound I. Acidolyses of the α-methyl-etherified derivative of compound I (I-α-OMe) using these acids under the same conditions suggested that the formation rates of the benzyl cation from compound I-α-OMe (also from compound I) are not largely different between the acidolyses using these acids, but those of compound II from the benzyl cation are remarkably different. Acidolysis of the α-bromo-substituting derivative of compound I (I-α-Br) using HBr under the same conditions showed a characteristic action of Br¯ in the acidolysis. Br¯ adds to the benzyl cation generated from compound I or I-α-OMe to afford unstable compound I-α-Br, resulting in acceleration of the formation of compound II and of the whole acidolysis reaction.

Lignin Depolymerization

Abstract Lignin depolymerization is a necessary process step in utilizing the carbohydrates in biomass and in potentially converting the lignin into a chemical feedstock. Lignin contains several aryl-alkyl ether linkages and the β-O-4 linkage is dominant among lignins. Base-mediated cleavage of the β-O-4 bond in a lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, is reported. Ionic liquids have shown promise in a variety of biomass processes and this study explores the potential to use an ionic liquid solvent (1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride) and non-aqueous bases in cleaving the β-O-4 bond. N-bases of varying basicity and structure were used at temperatures up to 150°C. The cleavage reaction was not found to be catalytic. Among all the tested N-bases, 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene was the most active, leading to more than 40% β-O-4 ether bond cleavage, and the higher activity is probably associated with the exposed nature of the N-atoms.
