Reductive removal of methoxyacetyl protective group using sodium borohydride

A Novel Method of Self-Cross-Linking of Syringaldehyde with Activated Methoxy Groups via Cross-Coupling for Lignin-Based Wood Adhesives

“…The methoxy group is a functional group that contains a methyl group bound to oxygen and has high application potential in the medical field , but not in the adhesive application. The methoxy group has been utilized as a protecting group in many substrates. − Moreover, the methoxy groups of lignin have been used to prepare amides via carbonylation and have been converted to obtain pure chemicals . However, the modification of the methoxy group with a substitution method has become a promising alternative strategy .…”
