The effects of reaction temperature and alkaline catalyst on the yield of pyrolysis products and the selectivity of methoxy-aromatic compounds were studied during microwave-assisted pyrolysis of eucalyptus sawdust in a fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that 400 °C was the optimum temperature for methoxy-aromatic compounds production, where the yield of bio-oil was 28.4%, and the concentration of methoxy-aromatic compounds in the bio-oil reached to 70.4%. The dominant methoxy-aromatic compounds were identified as guaiacyl and syringyl derivatives. Weakly alkaline catalysts (K2CO3 and Na2CO3) enhanced both bio-oil yield and the methoxy-aromatic compounds selectivity. However, the strong base NaOH reduces methoxy-aromatic compounds content. The catalytic efficiency for methoxy-aromatic compounds selectivity followed the order: Na2CO3 >K2CO3 >NaHCO3 >NaOH. Furthermore, the reaction mechanisms underlying the formation of MACs from woody biomass and their subsequent conversion into benzoquinone, phenol, and catechol were elucidated, with guaiacol serving as a key structural model.
