👏Great collaboration with former co-workers at National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana.
💡Monolignols are important alcohol-based precursors in lignin production, playing critical functions in plant growth and development with far-reaching ramifications for businesses relying on wood and paper. Monolignols and its derivatives have several uses across a variety of sectors. Monolignols have antioxidant action because they may contribute hydrogen atoms or electrons to neutralize free radicals, hence avoiding oxidative stress and cell damage. Monolignols come in three forms: p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol. In nature, particularly in plants, monolignols with geometry (E) outnumber Z counterparts. The techniques for generating the three classical monolignols, two less frequent monolignols, and a monolignol analogue are discussed to provide an overview of these phenol-based compounds, particularly from a synthetic aspect.
🚀Read, enjoy, prepare valuable phenolic compounds!
