Mechanochemical cleavage of lignin dimer model compounds to phenolic monomers has been developedviaa two-step strategy under milling conditions. In the first step of this process, the secondary benzylic alcohol of lignin β-O-4 linkages was selectively oxidized to the corresponding ketones over a 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ)/NaNO2catalytic system under milling conditions. In the subsequent step, mechanochemical selective cleavage of the Cβ-O bonds and Cα-Cβbonds of lignin β-O-4 ketones to acids and phenols was promoted by NaOH-catalyzed depolymerization. In addition, this two-step strategy was performed to depolymerize organosolv birch lignin, giving aromatic monomers with good selectivity for syringate. This approach provides an efficient method to convert the β-O-4 linkages of lignin to valuable aromatic monomers under mild reaction conditions.

We report a facile approach to fine tune the redox potentials of π-conjugated porous organic frameworks (POFs) by copolymerizing carbazolic electron donor (D) and electron acceptor (A) based comonomers at different ratios. The resulting carbazolic copolymers (CzCPs) exhibit a wide range of redox potentials that are comparable to common transition-metal complexes and are used in the stepwise photocatalytic degradation of lignin β-O-4 models. With the strongest oxidative capability, CzCP100 (D:A = 0:100) exhibits the highest efficiency for the oxidation of benzylic β-O-4 alcohols, while the highly reductive CzCP33 (D:A = 66:33) gives the highest yield for the reductive cleavage of β-O-4 ketones. CzCPs also exhibit excellent stability and recyclability and represent a class of promising heterogeneous photocatalysts for the production of fine chemicals from sustainable lignocellulosic biomass.

A mild and chemoselective oxidation of the α-alcohol in β-O-4'-ethanoaryl and β-O-4'-glycerolaryl ethers has been developed. The benzylic alcohols were selectively dehydrogenated to the corresponding ketones in 60-93-% yield. A one-pot selective route to aryl ethyl ketones was performed. The catalytic system comprises recyclable heterogeneous palladium, mild reaction conditions, green solvents, and oxygen in air as oxidant. Catalytic amounts of a coordinating polyol were found pivotal for an efficient aerobic oxidation. The ligninator: A mild and chemoselective oxidation of the α-alcohol in β-O-4' lignin model compounds is developed. The benzylic alcohols are selectively dehydrogenated to the corresponding ketones in 60-93-% yield. A one-pot selective route to aryl ethyl ketones is performed. The catalytic system comprises recyclable heterogeneous palladium, mild reaction conditions, green solvents, and oxygen in air as oxidant.
