Finding a workaround : The conversion of lignin into low‐boiling‐point arenes instead of high‐boiling‐point phenols could greatly facilitate conventional refinery processes. A new procedure for the depolymerization of lignin and simultaneous conversion phenols into arenes is described. The method can also be rendered as a fundamental finding for the upgrade of bio‐oils to arenes under mild conditions.
