Simple and efficient catalytic routes have been explored to upgrade the raw lignin oil. Though homogeneous catalysis is easy to operate and possesses a high reaction rate, it also suffers from the difficulty of product separation In this work, we used H3BO3 as a novel homogeneous catalyst coupled with Ru/C to overcome the separation problem and carry out the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenolic compounds and raw lignin oil. H3BO3 showed an outstanding performance over the liquid organic and mineral acids, with a good catalyst recyclability. Phenolic model compounds including monomers and dimers can be efficiently converted into cycloalkanes with yields close to 100%. Moreover, the raw lignin oil also had a good HDO result by using this bifunctional catalyst (H3BO3 and Ru/C). The content of hydrocarbons increased from 7.9% to 93.1% at 260°C, which promoted the upgraded lignin oil capable to be used as fuel directly. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2Application of 103-16-2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties. Many esters have the potential for conformational isomerism, but they tend to adopt an s-cis (or Z) conformation rather than the s-trans (or E) alternative, due to a combination of hyperconjugation and dipole minimization effects. The preference for the Z conformation is influenced by the nature of the substituents and solvent, if present. Lactones with small rings are restricted to the s-trans (i.e. E) conformation due to their cyclic structure.Application of 103-16-2
