Pathways for vanillin production through alkaline aerobic oxidation of a phenolic lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, in concentrated aqueous alkali

Abstract

Vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) is a crucial compound that can be produced through alkaline aerobic oxidation of softwood lignin. Our research group has been investigating an effective method for vanillin production from...
