A DFT Mechanistic Study on Base-Catalyzed Cleavage of the β-O-4 Ether Linkage in Lignin: Implications for Selective Lignin Depolymerization

The detailed mechanism of the base-catalyzed C-C and C-O bond cleavage of a model compound representing the β-O-4 linkage in lignin is elucidated using DFT calculations at the M06/6-31G* level of theory. Two types of this linkage have been studied, a C2 type which contains no γ-carbinol group and a...
