METHOD FOR PRODUCING LIGNIN MONOMER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing lignin monomers with high yield by decomposing a plant material containing a lignin component such as wood using a reaction agent which is easily available and has no problem with handleability.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing lignin monomers by irradiating a microwave to a mixture of a plant material containing a lignin component and a metal compound to decompose the plant material containing a lignin component.
