Abstract
A number of model compounds resembling the fundamental bonding patterns of residual kraft lignin, including a series of stilbenes, were incubated with laccase from Trametes versicolor in the presence and absence of deligni®cation `mediators' ABTS and HBT. The condensed kraft lignin model compounds seem to undergo initial degradation by laccase mainly via benzylic oxidation, demethylation and hydroxylation reactions. Phenolic 5-50, diphenylmethane and a-5 lignin models were found to be degraded mainly via side-chain oxidation reactions. Among the models studied, a phenolic stilbene was found to be the most reactive, yielding several products showing side-chain oxidation/transposition, demethoxylation and hydroxylation reactions. Non-phenolic 5-50, diphenylmethane and stil- bene model compounds were found unreactive even in the presence of the laccase-mediator system.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
