Two oxidation products of veratryl alcohol were isolated from ligninolytic cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium . After purification the compounds were characterized by 1 H‐NMR, mass spectrometry and infrared spectrometry. The structural information suggests that the compounds are two isomers of a ring cleavage product from veratryl alcohol. Both compounds were also found as by‐products when veratryl alcohol was oxidized to veratraldehyde with the crude extracellular ligninase preparation.
