Mild and Robust Redox‐Neutral Pd/C‐Catalyzed Lignol β‐O‐4′ Bond Cleavage Through a Low‐Energy‐Barrier Pathway

Abstract

Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Joseph Samec at Uppsala University. The image shows that native lignin β‐O‐4′ bond model compounds react at very mild and accurately tuned redox‐neutral conditions while other models have higher hydrogen and temperature demands.
