Lignin acetylation, one of the most widespread chemical modifications used for improve the solubility of this biopolymer in organic solvents and increase polymer-lignin compatibility, has been performed for decades using time-consuming methodologies and acetylating agents with serious drawbacks. Moreover, traditional acetylation reactions generally conduce to non-selective acetylation of both aliphatic and phenolic groups. In this work, we demonstrated that partial and selective acetylation of kraft lignin can be carried out through a greener, simple and fast microwave-assisted process using acetic acid as solvent and acetylating agent. Structural characterization via FTIR, H-1-C-13 HSQC and P-31 NMR demonstrated that acetylation reaction occurs selectively only in aliphatic hydroxyls, preserving the phenolic hydroxyls. Optimal reaction conditions were obtained using 1% (v/v) of H2SO4 as catalyst and only 5 min as reaction time. The acetylated Kraft lignin (AKL) obtained, have enhanced solubility in organic solvents (ethyl acetate, chloroform and dichloromethane) compared to unmodified Kraft lignin (KL) and antioxidant capacity almost 8 times higher than a commercial antioxidant BHT. These characteristics make the partially and selectively acetylated Kraft lignin a potential green antioxidant additive to be used in polymers blends. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
