Catalytic Cleavage of the C-O Bond in 2,6-dimethoxyphenol Without External Hydrogen or Organic Solvent Using Catalytic Vanadium Metal

Catalytic Cleavage of the C-O Bond in 2,6-dimethoxyphenol Without External Hydrogen or Organic Solvent Using Catalytic Vanadium Metal

Hydrogenolysis of the C-O bonds in lignin, which promises to be able to generate fuels and chemical feedstocks from biomass, is a particularly challenging and important area of investigation. Herein, we demonstrate a vanadium-catalyzed cleavage of a lignin model compound (2,6-dimethoxyphenol). The i...
