Summary
-
1.
Biosynthetic lignins have been obtianed by Freudenberg's method from coniferyl and p-coumaryl alcohols.
-
2.
In its elementary and functional composition, DHP-1 is similar to the corresponding material obtained by Freudenberg.
-
3.
For DHP-1 the yield of ether-soluble phenols is considerably higher than for DHP-2, which may indicate a greater degree of condensation of the latter as compared with the former.
-
4.
Reductive decomposition by a solution of metallic sodium in liquid ammonia has shown that the phenols obtained from reed lignin have a complex composition.
-
5.
A comparison of the IR and UV spectra of the biosynthetic lignins obtained and of reed and spruce MWLs has been performed.
