Journal ArticleDOI
Convergent reductive depolymerization of wood lignin to isolated phenol derivatives by metal-free catalytic hydrosilylation
TL;DR: In this paper, the first examples of reductive depolymerization of lignin were reported under metal-free conditions, using hydrosilanes as reductants and B(C6F5)3 as a Lewis acid catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented organocatalytic reduction of lignin model compounds to phenols and primary alcohols using hydrosilanes
Elias Feghali,Thibault Cantat +1 more
TL;DR: The first metal-free reduction of lignin model compounds is described, using inexpensive Et3SiH, PMHS and TMDS hydrosilanes as reductants and B(C6F5)3 as an efficient catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Room temperature organocatalyzed reductive depolymerization of waste polyethers, polyesters, and polycarbonates.
Elias Feghali,Thibault Cantat +1 more
TL;DR: A significant advantage of this recycling method is derived from its tolerance to the additives present in waste plastics and its ability to selectively depolymerize mixtures of polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermosetting Polymers from Lignin Model Compounds and Depolymerized Lignins
Elias Feghali,Kirk M. Torr,Daniel J. van de Pas,Pablo Ortiz,Karolien Vanbroekhoven,Walter Eevers,Walter Eevers,Richard Vendamme +7 more
TL;DR: Particular emphasis is given to epoxy resins, polyurethanes and phenol-formaldehyde resins as this is where the research shows the greatest overlap between the model compounds and bio-oils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Bio-Based Epoxy Thermoset Polymers from Depolymerized Native Lignins Produced at the Pilot Scale.
TL;DR: Considerable scope exists in simplifying and scaling up the hydrogenolysis process to produce depolymerized lignins that can substitute for established petrochemicals in the quest for renewable high performance thermoset polymers.
