✦ Synopsis


We have recently reported on the electrochemical oxidation of the lignin model compound, 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-a-methylbenzyl alcohol (1). The major product from that reaction in damp acetonitrile (AN) was 3,5-dimethoxy-p-benwquinone , and was thought to arise via a mechansim involving fragmentative loss of acetaldehyde. Since this oxidation pathway was unavailable

represents an important structural unit in hardwood lignin. Understanding the mechanisms of oxidation of the title compound, as well as other lignin models, may help elucidate wood rotting processes and can provide useful information for controlled degradation of crude lignin to useful products. St
