Abstract
The efficient and selective cleavage of the β-O-4 linkage under mild conditions represents a promising strategy to convert lignocellulose to value-added aromatic chemicals. In this work, a recoverable polyoxometalate-ionic liquid (POM-IL) catalyst has been successfully constructed by reacting H5PMo10V2O40 (HPMoV) polyoxoacids with 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-1H-imidazolium (BMIM-SO3) zwitterions. Such a POM-IL catalyst can selectively and effectively convert various β-O-4 lignin models into aromatic acids and phenols under mild homogeneous conditions. Addition of ethyl acetate to the homogeneous post-reaction solution allows the easy recovery of the POM-IL catalyst for successive five recycling tests with high robustness. The dominant catalytic pathway was elucidated by a series of mechanistic studies.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
