In 2022,Wu, Kai; Yang, Ke; Wang, Siyu; Yu, Jiajun; Chu, Chenyang; Luo, Bingbing; Zhang, Huiyan published an article in Bioresource Technology. The title of the article was 《The enrichment of sugars and phenols from fast pyrolysis of bamboo via ethanol-Fenton pretreatment》.Quality Control of m-Methoxyphenol The author mentioned the following in the article:
The high-purity compounds (e.g., sugars and phenols) are important raw materials and chems., which can be produced by biomass pyrolysis. However, the direct biomass pyrolysis produces complex compounds and thus inhibiting its large-scale utilization. To increase the yield and enrichment of sugars and phenols, a green coupling process based on ethanol-Fenton pretreatment combined with fast pyrolysis is firstly proposed. The bamboo was effectively separated into the ethanol-Fenton pretreated bamboo (EF-bamboo), lignin-rich fractions, and hemicellulose-degradation intermixts. with the massive removal of inorganic metals via this process. Compared with the fast pyrolysis of raw bamboo, the levoglucosan yield of EF-bamboo increased 5.4 times and the enrichment of sugars improved from 7.6% to 59.7%. Similarly, the yield of monophenols from lignin-rich fractions increased around 0.6 times and the enrichment of monophenols increased from 25.7% to 63.5%. This work provides a green and efficient route to produce high-yield and high-enrichment sugars and phenols. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, m-Methoxyphenol(cas: 150-19-6Quality Control of m-Methoxyphenol)
m-Methoxyphenol(cas: 150-19-6) may be used in synthesis of:C(4) symmetric calix[4]resorcinarene, 2-nitroso-5-methoxyphenol, 6-methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazoloneQuality Control of m-Methoxyphenol
