Photochemical and enzymatic SET promoted C–C bond cleavage reactions of lignin β-1 model compounds containing varying number of methoxy substituents on their arene rings
摘要:
In the current study, 1,2-diarylpropan-1,3-diols, containing varying numbers of methoxy substituents that mimic beta-1 type units in lignins, were prepared and subjected to photochemical and enzymatic SET oxidative C-C bond cleavage reactions to explore how product distributions and reactivity profiles depend on the numbers and positions of arene ring methoxy-substituents. For this purpose, product distributions of SET-promoted photochemical reactions of the beta-1 model compounds and the characteristics of lignin peroxidase catalyzed bond cleavage reactions of these substances were explored. The results show that both the photochemical and enzymatic reactions, which are known to occur by initial SET to form arylpropanoid cation radicals, generate predominantly aldehydes and beta-hydroxyketones through cation radical C1-C2 bond cleavage pathways. In addition, analysis of the relative quantum efficiencies of the SET photochemical processes shows that they do not depend greatly on the numbers and positions of arene ring methoxy substituents of the beta-1 model compounds.

Abstract Root extracts fromUrticadioica were separated into several classes of compounds by extraction with organic solvents at different pH values. The phenolic fraction was analysed by GC-MS after trimethylsilylation. This procedure allowed the identification of 18 phenolic compounds as well as the detection of eight lignans. The occurrence of some of these substances in this plant was previously
