Abstract

Monolignols are efficiently synthesized from the corresponding cheap and readily available cinnamic acids through a borohydride reduction of the derived mixed carbonic anhydrides. Judicious choices of the reaction conditions allow for removal of the byproducts by aqueous workup and give the products cleanly in high yields.
