Abstract
Vanadium complexes catalyze CC and CO bond cleavage reactions in lignin model compounds using air as the oxidant. In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201107020), S. K. Hanson, R. Wu, and L. A. Silks report that the selectivity for the bond cleavage is influenced by the ligand framework of the vanadium catalyst, suggesting the potential of homogeneous catalysts for controlling selectivity in the aerobic oxidation of lignin.
