One-step conversion of lignin-derived alkylphenols to light arenes by co-breaking of C–O and C–C bonds

Abstract

The conversion of lignin-derived alkylphenols to light arenes by one step reaction is still a challenge. A ‘shortcut’ route to transform alkylphenols via the co-breaking of C-O and C-C bonds...

Ni nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen doped carbon derived from metal–organic frameworks for the efficient hydrogenation of vanillin to vanillyl alcohol

“…2 The catalytic hydrotreatment of lignin and its derivatives is a crucial process in the valorization of lignin. [3][4][5] In general, the catalysts applied for the hydrotreatment of lignin and its derivatives include sulphides, oxides, reduced noble and non-noble metals, phosphides, carbides and nitrides. 3 Reduced metals are most used for the hydrotreatment of lignin.…”

Zeolite imidazolate framework/g-C3N4 derived Co nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen doped carbon for efficient hydrogenation of phenol

“…1 The conversion of compounds derived from lignin to value-added chemicals has been widely investigated. 2,3 Particularly, the transformation of phenols derived from lignin to the related alcohols is attracting much attention. Such alcohols are important feedstocks for the industrial production of polymer components.…”
