EFFECT OF SOLVENT ON THE BETA-O-4 BOND CLEAVAGE OF A LIGNIN MODEL COMPOUND BY TERT-BUTOXIDE UNDER MILD CONDITIONS

The beta-O-4 bond cleavage of a non-phenolic β-O-4 type dimeric lignin model compound, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethanol (III), was examined in systems using potassium tert-butoxide as a base (0.5 mol/l) and tert-butanol (tBuOH), dimethylsulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, or tetrahydrofuran...
