Abstract:The development of sustainable valorization methods for lignin is a challenging task, because the vast majority of the reported methods require either harsh conditions or the use of expensive transition metal catalysts. Inspired from the natural-sunlight degradation of lignin, known as lignin yellowing, we report here the use of a commercially available cheap organic photocatalyst, namely, phenacyl bromide (PAB), for the efficient cleavage of lignin model compound 2-phenoxyacetophenone (2-PAP), and the depolym… Show more
