Li, Xuan published the artcileBBr3-Assisted Preparation of Aromatic Alkyl Bromides from Lignin and Lignin Model Compounds, Recommanded Product: 2-Phenoxy-1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol, the publication is Journal of Organic Chemistry (2018), 83(18), 11019-11027, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
For the first time, BBr3-assisted nucleophilic substitution was applied to a variety of β-O-4 and α-O-4 model compounds for the highly effective cleavage of different C-O bonds, including C-Oα-OH, Cβ-O/Cα-O and CMe-O bonds (<0.5 h and >99% conversion for most cases). Without any pretreatment, the substitution proceeds at room temperature in the absence of any catalyst, or additive, selectively affording phenols and important organic synthesis reagents, aromatic alkyl bromides, in high to excellent yields (up to 98%). Preliminary studies also highlight the prospect of this method for the effective cleavage of different types of C-O bonds in real lignin. A total 14 wt % yield of aromatic alkyl bromide, 4-(1,2-dibromo-3-hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol (10), has been obtained from an extracted lignin through this method.
