FIGURE 1.
Structures of the relevant reactive molecules. Shown are the monolignol units G (A) and S (B) of lignin (the H unit is not shown due to its low abundance in wood biomass). Further, the Fluorophenol molecule, 4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]phenol (4,4-F3MPP), used for the reaction is shown (C).
