Direct conversion of lignin to functionalized diaryl ethers via oxidative cross-coupling
Abstract Efficient valorization of lignin, a sustainable source of functionalized aromatic products, would reduce dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks. Oxidative depolymerization is frequently applied to lignin to generate phenolic monomers. However, due to the instability of phenolic intermediat...
