Decomposition of β-O-4 Linked Lignin Model Compound in Anhydrous Ethanol without any Added Catalyst

The cleavage of a lignin model compound of 2-phenoxyacetophenone (2-PAP) was studied in an anhydrous ethanol solvent. A high conversion of 2-PAP (> 99%) to the desired products (> 80% for phenol) with impressive selectivity was achieved in a stainless steel (T316SS) autoclave without any added...
