Abstract

In the investigation of the structure of lignin, the techniques of oxidation6l6 and ethanolysis have been extensively employed. Oxidation of spruce and maple woodmeal gave yields of aldehydes of 25 and 46%, respectively, based on the lignin originally present, but as these compounds are only lignin degradation products, they give no clue to the structure of the side-chains existing in the original lignin unit. On the other hand, while the yields of ...
