Summary
1. It has been shown by chemical and physicochemical methods of analysis that the oxidation of bark lignin by atmospheric oxygen in nitric acid is accompanied by oxidative-condensation and oxidative-hydrolytic processes.
2. Oxidative condensation leads to the formation of a stable intermediate product with a quinoid system of bonds. This complex fragments under the oxidative-hydrolytic action of the medium. The oligomers obtained undergo oxidative-condensation transformations more readily. Such reactions probably take place successively as far as the formation of relatively simple compounds.
