Selective hydrogenation of lignin-derived model compounds to produce nylon 6 precursors

This study investigated the conversion of monomeric lignin fragments into cyclohexanols for use as a source of lignin-derived monomers for renewable Nylon 6 production. Lignin-derived monomeric phenolic species was transformed to their cyclohexanol analogs via selective catalytic hydrogenation. A f...
