Effects of aromatic ring type on reactions subsequent to the β-O-4 bond cleavage of non-phenolic lignin model compounds under alkaline pul** conditions
The reaction products of an alkaline treatment of non-phenolic β-O-4-type lignin model compounds (C6–C2-type) consisting of p-hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), and/or syringyl (S) nuclei were identified and quanti...

Stereo-preference in the degradation of the erythro and threo isomers of β-O-4-type lignin model compounds in oxidation processes III: in the reaction with chlorine- and manganese-based oxidants
We examined which isomer, the erythro or threo, of a non-phenolic β-O-4-type lignin model compound is stereo-preferentially oxidized in hypochlorite, chlorite, manganese dioxide, or permanganate systems. No clear...

Open AccessPredominant formation of aromatic aldehyde and acid from a dimeric β-O-4-type lignin model compound under hydrogen peroxide bleaching conditions with high pH levels
When a dimeric non-phenolic β-O-4-type lignin model compound, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-diol (veratrylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (VG)), was treated under alkaline oxygen or hydrogen p...

Synergistic contribution of hydrosulfide and carbonate anions to the β-O-4 bond cleavage of lignin model compounds in a green liquor pretreatment for enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials
To examine why green liquor (GL) pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials effectively facilitates enzymatic saccharification under conditions milder than those of a common alkaline cooking process, dimeric β-O-4...
