Investigate cleavage of β-O-4 linkage in lignin model compounds by aerobic oxidation of Cα and Cγ hydroxyl groups

The selective cleavage of common linkages in lignin polymers is a promising approach to generate valuable aromatic hydrocarbons. Herein, we found that on oxidation of Cα and Cγ hydroxyl groups in β-O-4 lignin model compounds with TEMPO catalyst resulted in the formation of 1,3-dicarbonyl TEMPO adduct. These oxidized products readily underwent fragmentation at Cα-Cβ bond in the presence of a catalytic amount of acid to generate corresponding carboxylic acid and phenol monomers.

Transesterification for synthesis of carboxylates using aldehydes as acyl donors via C-H and C-O bond activations

A new type of transesterification between aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl N-heteroarene-2-carboxylates and various aldehydes by C-H and C-O bond activations has been developed for the synthesis of versatile carboxylates. A possible mechanism containing oxidative addition of acyl-O bond in parent ester and radical cleavage of sp2 C-H bond in aldehyde is proposed.

Aminolysis of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted benzoates with piperidine: Effect of nonleaving group substituent

The title reaction has been suggested to proceed through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate with a change in the rate determining step on the basis of the curved Bronsted-type plots obtained. The curvature center of the curved Bronsted-type plots is at pKa = 6.4 regardless of the electronic nature of the substituent X in the benzoyl moiety.
