Key Points

The aim is to explore the DBU-catalyzed C-O bond cleavage in lignin model compounds to enhance lignin utilization.
Utilized DBU as a catalyst for C-O bond cleavage
Examined various lignin model compounds
Conducted reactions under mild conditions
Achieved effective cleavage of C-O bonds in lignin models
Demonstrated significant conversion rates of substrates
Indicated potential scalability of the process for biomass valorization

Implication

Demonstrates improved lignin valorization through DBU-catalyzed C-O bond cleavage, suggesting a sustainable approach to biomass utilization.

Abstract

Amidst oil scarcity and surging energy requirements, renewable lignocellulosic biomass stands out as a sustainable substitute. However, the complex interlinkages of lignin pose a barrier to its valorization. 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol, when...
