  • The oxypropylation of the parent and oxidized lignins with propylene oxide (PO) was studied in high pressure Parr reactor using KOH as a catalyst. It was shown that oxypropylation of lignin pre-oxidized in the system POM/H2O2 proceeded in the similar manner as the parent lignin but the rate of the process was some lower due to the presence of higher amount of -COOH groups with lower nucleophilicity.
