Abstract：In order to investigate the Co-salen catalytic bleaching mechanism of pulp, the dimeric guaiacyl lignin model compound with β—O—4 linkage was synthesized. The degradation products and functional groups in Co-salen catalytic oxidation were analysed by GC-MS, FT-IR and 13C-NMR, respectively. The degradation mechanism of lignin model compound was elucidated based on the degradation products and structural changes. Attacks of peroxy anionic radical, hydroperoxy ion and hydroxy radical in Co-salen catalytic system made the β—O—4 linkage broke, ary ring open and methoxy reduced, yielding aldehyde, phenol and alkene.
