| Abstract: | The hydrogenolysis of rice husk protolignin and of rice husk hydrolysis lignin in the presence of catalyst D-101, which is used in the hydrocracking of petroleum, has been studied. A substantial amount of products with syringyl structures has been found in the lignin cleavage products. The hydrogen content of the hydrol lignins isolated was considerably higher than that of the analogous lignins obtained on hydrogenolysis with the use of other catalysts.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
