title: Chemical conversion of β-O-4 lignin linkage models through Cu-catalyzed aerobic amide bond formation.
abstract: Methods for conversion of the lignin β-O-4 models into amide derivatives and phenols have been developed, which is achieved via chemo-selective oxidation of the secondary benzylic alcohol and subsequent Cu-catalyzed aerobic amide bond formation.
