Study of the reactivity of lignin model compounds to fluorobenzylation using 13C and 19F NMR: Application to lignin phenolic hydroxyl group quantification by 19F NMR

Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer derived from lignocellulosic biomass. Providing a comprehensive structural analysis of lignin is the primary motivation for the quantification of various functional groups, with a view to valorizing lignin in a wide range of applications. This study investigated the lignin fluorobenzylation reaction and performed a subsequent 19F-NMR analysis to quantify hydroxyl groups, based on a work developed two decades ago by Barrelle et al. The objectives were to check the assignments proposed in this previous study and to examine the reactivity of various types of lignin hydroxyls with the derivatization agent. Selected lignin model compounds containing phenolic and aliphatic hydroxyls were subjected to the fluorobenzylation reaction, and the obtained reaction medium was analyzed by 13C and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The model compound results showed that phenolic hydroxyls were totally derivatized, whereas aliphatic hydroxyls underwent minimal conversion. They also confirmed that 19F NMR chemical shifts from -115 ppm to -117.3 ppm corresponded to phenolic groups. Then, a F NMR analysis was successfully applied to Organosolv commercial lignin after fluorobenzylation in order to quantify its phenolic group content; the values were found to be in the range of the reported values using other analytical techniques after lignin acetylation.

Eco-efficient preparation of a N-doped graphene equivalent and its application to metal free selective oxidation reaction

Here, we demonstrate that graphene oxide (GO) can be converted to N-doped reduced GO (rGO) that could become a substitute for N-doped graphene. Simultaneous doping and reduction can be accomplished for this purpose by simply mixing GO with hydrazine and then continuously sonicating the solution at 65 °C. A high level of reduction is realized, as evidenced by a carbon to oxygen ratio of 20.7 that compares with the highest value of 15.3 ever reported in solution (water + hydrazine) methods. Nitrogen doping is possible up to 6.3 wt% and the extent of doping can be increased with increasing sonication time. Notably, the simple tuning process of N-doping in GO greatly enhanced the efficiency of the carbocatalyst for various kinds of metal free oxidation reactions and hence is proposed as a suitable candidate for future industrial applications.
