Selective C(aryl)–O bond cleavage in biorenewable phenolics
Gilles De Smet, Xing‐Feng Bai, Bert U. W. Maes
Abstract
an initial derivatization into C(aryl)-OX, into other functionalities is possible and also discussed. In addition to methods applying guaiacols and syringols present in lignin oil as model substrates, special attention is given to methods using mixtures of these compounds obtained from wood/technical lignin. Finally, other important aspects of C-O bond activation with respect to green chemistry are discussed.
