Abstract

The electrochemical conversion of less exploited biogenic side streams provides an attractive approach to valuable intermediates. Electrosynthesis represents a future technology, which is characterized by its outstanding sustainability.[1] The translation of electrosynthesis is strong dependent on the subsequent downstream processing and has to be implemented into the electrolytic screening on an early stage.[2] A new strategy is presented to electrochemically convert lignins by ex-cell and in-cell approaches providing selectively access to monomeric species such as vanillin, 5-iodovanillin, vanillic acid and dimethoxybenzoquinone.[3-6] The key is the timely separation of oxidation and liberation event.
