The dehydrogenative polymerization of coniferyl alcohol by horseradish peroxidase was performed in 0.10 M phosphate buffer at 27 degrees C. Dehydrogenative polymer (DHP) from coniferyl alcohol was characterized by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The ratio of 8-O-4':8-5':8-8' linkages was determined by the 1H NMR spectrum of DHP acetate which had good solubility. In "end-wise like" polymerization (the slow addition of hydrogen peroxide), addition of alpha-cyclodextrin to the medium led to DHP with increased 8-O-4' content and a decrease in 8-5' linkages. Under higher pH conditions, DHP with higher 8-O-4' and 8-5' content was obtained in the presence of alpha-cyclodextrin. In the end-wise polymerization (the slow additions of coniferyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide), using alpha-cyclodextrin also gave DHP with a 8-O-4' richer structure than that prepared in no additive system. The analysis of thioacidolysis products from DHP supported the results of the alpha-cyclodextrin effects on the 8-O-4'-rich structure of DHP. The 8-O-4' structure in DHP prepared in the presence of alpha-cyclodextrin had racemic form as shown by ozonation.
