Abstract

The oxidative degradation of lignin related model compounds catalysed by [N, N′-bis (salicylidene) ethane-1, 2-diaminato] cobalt (II),[Co (salen)], have been studied in chloroform. Arylglycerol β-aryl ethers, phenylcoumarans and apocynol showed very high conversion values within 30 minutes of the start of the reaction and their conversion rates were higher than those reported for phenylpropenoidic compounds, methyl (E)-ferulate ...
