| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to develop transformation reactions of lignin fraction in lignocellulose, which is the most abundant renewable carbon resource. I used guaiacol and cresol as model substrates of mixture of decomposition products of lignin. I found several catalytic reactions, such as Ru + base catalysts for removal of methoxy group, vanadium catalysts for oxidation of hydrogenated derivatives of guaiacol into adipic acid, Pt catalysts for dehydrogenation-demethoxylation of the hydrogenated derivatives of guaiacol, and Pt-Pd catalysts for oxidation of the methyl substituent in cresol.
