Abstract
Lignin model compounds containing a phenolic “A” ring, α-OH, and β-aryl (ring “B”) ether, with different substituents located on rings A and B, have been synthesized and degraded under a variety of conditions in sodium hydroxide-water (soda). Substituent changes on ring B had a large effect on fragmentation reactions of the models; changes on ring A showed only small effects. These substituent-reactivity relationships indicate that the slow step in the mechanism for model fragmentation under soda conditions is cleavage of the β-aryl ether bond. Vinyl ether formation, a reaction which competes with model fragmentation, is more prominent at low alkali concentration.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
