Oxidative C-C bond cleavage of lignin model compound with O2 in presence of N-hydroxyl phthalimide
The catalytic effects of N-hydroxyl phthalimide combined with various transition metal salts on the oxidative breakage of C-C bond of lignin by O2 under mild conditions were studied.1
2-diphenylethane was adopted as the model compound of lignin C-C bond.It was found that Mn (OAc)2 showed the highest promotion effect on the catalytic activity of NHPI among the soluble cobaltous
manganous and cupric salts.The oxidative breakage of C-C bonds led to the production of benzyl aldehyde and benzoic acid with high selectivity.1
2-Diphenyl ethanone was found to be the primary product.Either increase the reaction temperature
Mn (OAc)2 amount as well as the reaction time favored the C-C bond cleavage.Total selectivity of benzyl aldehyde and benzoic acid up to 76.5% was achieved in acetic acid under the conditions of 90℃ and 1.0 MPa O2 for 8 h by using 10% NHPI and 1% Mn (OAc)2 with respect to the amount of benzyl phenyl ether as the catalyst.
