A strictly coordinate sequence of radical and ionic steps appears to be the mechanism by which oligolignols are generated. A synthetic lignin was produced under micellar conditions [Eq. (1)], and the beginning of the polymerization process was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. CTA=cetyltrimethylammonium ion
