N. Vivas et al., STRUCTURAL STUDY OF EXTRACTABLE LIGNINS F ROM OAK HEARTWOOD, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(2), 1998, pp. 430-436
In this work, authors present a structural investigation of two extrac
tible heartwood lignins from Q. robur: LE, extractable by acidic hydro
alcoholic medium (MW 23 kDa) and LD, extractable by acidified dioxan (
MW 45 kDa), NMR spectrum analysis with 2D TOCSY and HMQC experiments p
erformed the structural characteristics of this two lignins fractions.
LD and LE contain principaly monomethoxyl (Gaiacyls) and dimethoxyl (
Syringyls) phenolic units with beta-O-4 ary-ether linkage. LD are rich
er in G units than LE.
