The Reactions of Lignin with Alkaline Hydrogen Peroxide. Part IV. Products from the Oxidation of Quinone Model Compounds

Simple para- and orhto-quinoid structures related to lignin have been oxidized with hydrogen peroxide under mild alkaline conditions.Most of the reaction products, i.e. carboxylic acids formed by oxidative cleavage of the quinoid ring together with acids formed by more extensive degradation of the starting materials, were identified after conversion into esters.In addition, small amounts of hydroxylated quinones were found.Mechanisms for the formation of these products are suggested and the significance of the results for the bleaching of mechanical pulps with hydrogen peroxide is briefly discussed.
