Metal-free radical catalysis: an sp <sup>2</sup> C–H activation strategy for efficient synthesis of lignin–biphenyl dimers
A novel metal-free catalytic strategy for lignin coupling reactions to produce lignin-derived biphenyl dimers. Basing on guaiacol sp 2 C–H coupling hypothesis, S-unit and G-unit eugenol dimers (S–S) and guaiacol dimers (G–G) were characterized.
