Scope and Contents

Contents

A method for the depolymerization of oxidized lignin under mild conditions in aqueous formic acid is described that results in more than 60 wt% yield of low-molecular-mass aromatics.
Useful aromatics made simply from lignin
The aromatic biopolymer lignin, a major component of plant cell walls and generally obtained from wood, is a valuable an...
