Photoinduced Single Electron Reduction of the 4‐O‐5 Linkage in Lignin Models for C‐P Coupling Catalyzed by Bifunctional N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes

Abstract Catalytic activation of Caryl‐O bonds is considered as a powerful strategy for the production of aromatics from lignin. However, due to the high reduction potentials of diaryl ether 4‐O‐5 linkage models, their single electron reduction remains a daunting challenge. This study presents the b...
