Laccase catalyzed quinone methide production from 4-alkyl phenols. Laccase produces quinone methide as the final product in some cases. For example, it oxidizes certain phenolic substrates such as syringaldazine and 2,6-dimethoxy-4-allylphenol to their corresponding semiquinones that undergo disproportionation to quinone methides and starting compounds.
