Abstract:Reactive amine compounds are critical for a vast array of useful chemicals in society, yet a limited number of them are derived from renewable resources. This study developed an efficient route to obtain aminated building blocks from phenolic resources derived from nature, such as lignin and tannic acid, for enhancing their utility in applications such as epoxy resins, nylons, polyurethanes, and other polymeric materials. The reaction utilized a carbon storage compound, 2‐oxazolidinone as a solvent and as a re… Show more
“…A recent work from Renneckar et al 73 reports an interesting solventless amination of softwood kraft lignin via 2-oxazolidinone (OZD, see Scheme 5). This compound exhibits a non-hazardous nature, according to its Safety Data Sheet (SDS).…”
Lignin represents the most abundant natural source of aromatic scaffolds. The majority of lignin is obtained as byproduct from industrial pulping. However, since lignin is often burned after pulping for...
