Data on making uniform lignin building blocks via in-situ real-time monitoring of hydroxyethyl modification.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a lab-designed apparatus was developed to collect and record the CO₂ amount during the hydroxyethyl modification of lignin. We presented the CO₂ volume amount and the production rate under different reaction conditions (80 - 120 °C and 2 - 6 hrs). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed to analyze the chemical structure of the hydroxyethyl lignin corresponding with different amounts of CO₂ that evolved during the reaction. The aliphatic hydroxyl, aromatic hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid groups were analyzed and tabulated. The acetylated hydroxyethyl lignin samples were characterized by ¹³C NMR to obtain the aliphatic hydroxyl (primary and secondary), phenol (ortho substituted and ortho-free), hydroxyethyl, methoxy, and a
