Kinetically Controlled Stereoselective Access to Branched 1,3-Dienes by Ru-Catalyzed Remote Conjugative Isomerization

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer important for plant function while holding promise as a renewable source of valuable chemicals. Although the lignification process in plant cell walls has been long-studied, a comprehensive, mechanistic understanding on the molecular scale remains elusive. A better understanding of lignification will lead to improved atomistic models of the plant cell wall that could, in turn, inform effective strategies for biomass valorization. Here, using first-principles quantum chemical calculations, we show that a simple model of kinetically-controlled radical coupling broadly rationalizes qualitative experimental observations of lignin structure across a wide variety of biomass types, thus paving the way for predictive, first-principles models of lignification while highlighting the ability of computational chemistry to help illuminate complex biological processes.

Hydrogenation of nitrogen oxide in acid solutions on Pt-C catalysts proceeds in dependence on experimental conditions either in purely diffusion region or in the diffusion and kinetically controlled region. The boundary between these two processes shifts to the higher ratio of NO to H2 partial pressures with increasing platinum content and decreasing intensity of agitation.
