Abstract
The development of a room-temperature lignin degradation strategy consisting of a chemoselective benzylic oxidation with a recyclable oxidant ([4-AcNH-TEMPO]BF4) and a catalytic reductive C-O bond cleavage utilizing the photocatalyst [Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 is described. This system was tested on relevant lignin model substrates containing β-O-4 linkages to generate fragmentation products in good to excellent yields.Entities:
