Tp. Schultz et al., OXIDATION OF BETA-0-4 LIGNIN MODELS - REACTION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CERIC(IV) AMMONIUM-NITRATE AND LIGNIN PEROXIDASE, Holzforschung, 49(6), 1995, pp. 528-532
The oxidation of selected nonphenolic lignin beta-0-4 model compounds
with ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) was compared to results obtained
with lignin peroxidase (LiP). The amount of C-alpha-C-beta cleavage w
as dependent on the free radical stability, although differences were
observed between CAN and LiP for a C-gamma-methyl compound. These resu
lts and prior studies suggest that the two reagents probably cleave li
gnin models by different pathways.
