Oxidative cleavage of C–C bonds in lignin

by Elena Subbotina

Nature Chemistry, Published online: 23 September 2021; doi:10.1038/s41557-021-00783-2

The valorization of lignin is generally implemented through the cleavage of labile C–O bonds to produce aromatic monomers in up to 40 wt% yield. The remaining material consists of lignin dimers and oligomers connected by C–C bonds, but now a method has been developed for the oxidative cleavage of these C–C bonds using oxoammonium salts, to produce benzoquinones.
