Taming the radical cation intermediate enabled one-step access to structurally diverse lignans
Nature Communications, 2022 Lignans, in spite of their structural diversity, are all biosynthetically derived from coniferyl alcohol. Here, the authors describe a divergent and stereoselective chemical synthesis of three types of lignans from biomass-derived monolignols, exploiting

A numerical model for the fractional condensation of pyrolysis vapours [PDF]
, 2015 Experimentation on the fast pyrolysis process has been primarily focused on the pyrolysis reactor itself, with less emphasis given to the liquid collection system (LCS). More importantly, the physics behind the vapour condensation process in LCSs has not

Chemical genetics uncovers novel inhibitors of lignification, including p-iodobenzoic acid targeting CINNAMATE-4-HYDROXYLASE [PDF]
, 2016 Plant secondary-thickened cell walls are characterized by the presence of lignin, a recalcitrant and hydrophobic polymer that provides mechanical strength and ensures long-distance water transport.

Electropolymerization of coniferyl alcohol
Journal of Wood Science, 2009 Electropolymerization of coniferyl alcohol was carried out in an aqueous system (0.2 M NaOH) and in an organic solvent system [CH2Cl2/methanol (4:1 v/v) in the presence of 0.2 M LiClO4] to produce a dehydrogenation polymer (DHP) - artificial lignin. In both systems, the polymerization of coniferyl alcohol was visually confi rmed. In the aqueous system,

Coniferyl alcohol from newsprint burning [PDF]
Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, 2000 Coniferyl alcohol constitutes almost half of the amount of methoxyphenols in smoke from choked burning of newsprint produced from thermomechanical pulp. The results indicate that coniferyl alcohol is a key component not only in biosynthesis but also in thermal decomposition of lignin.
