Identification of a diagnostic structural motif reveals a new reaction intermediate and condensation pathway in kraft lignin formation

Kraft lignin, the main by-product of the pulping industry, is an abundant, yet highly underutilized renewable aromatic polymer. During kraft pulping, the lignin undergoes extensive structural modification, with many labile native bonds being replaced by new, more recalcitrant ones. Currently little...
