Abstract
C-O bonds. The latter demonstrates the utility of Pd hydrotalcite catalysts for transfer hydrogenolysis of model compounds. This process was employed to achieve whole pine biomass delignification with 97% yield and a 22% phenolic monomer yield, with 64% selectivity for 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenol.
