Chemical conversion of β-O-4 lignin linkage models through Cu-catalyzed aerobic amide bond formation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Dec 18;49(97):11439-41. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46912c.

Abstract

Methods for conversion of the lignin β-O-4 models into amide derivatives and phenols have been developed, which is achieved via chemo-selective oxidation of the secondary benzylic alcohol and subsequent Cu-catalyzed aerobic amide bond formation.
