Suggested Production of a Guaiacyl Benzofuran Derivative from Softwood via Lignocresol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lignocresol was isolated from softwood with p-cresol using sulfuric acid and phase separation. An alkaline treatment of the lignocresol, followed by acidification, selectively yielded a guaiacyl coumaran, G1, in the acidsoluble fraction. With further alkaline treatment of G1 in 0.5 M of NaOH solution at 170 C for 60 min, it was strongly suggested that a guaiacyl benzofuran derivative, G2, was obtained by the elimination of formaldehyde, based on analytical data of the reaction mixture. The process is very unique and well-designed based on the reactivity of Cαethers, or Cα-OH, Cβ-aryl-ethers, and Cγ-OH of lignin, although condensation reactions via formaldehyde occurred in parallel to give condensed products with a diarylmethane structure. Because these phenolic dimers, G1 and G2, were recovered from the guaiacyl unit linked with the neighboring guaiacyl units via two -aryl-ether bonds, they are promising lignin-derived chemicals that are obtainable in a high yield.

BACKGROUND Forestry residues consisting of softwood are a major lignocellulosic resource for production of liquid biofuels. Scots pine, a commercially important forest tree, was fractionated into seven fractions of chips: juvenile heartwood, mature heartwood, juvenile sapwood, mature sapwood, bark, top parts, and knotwood. The different fractions were characterized analytically with regard to c...
