ResumoA schematic formula for lignin has evolved from analytical observations and from studies of biochemically duplicated lignin and its intermediates. By dehydrogenation, coniferyl alcohol alone forms more than 30 intermediates (oligolignols) which give detailed information about the constitution of lignin. Most of the intermediates have been isolated and elucidated. They are listed here. Recently, it became evident that rather labile benzyl aryl ether links occur in lignin. This led to experiments on the mild hydrolysis of lignin. Several oligolignols have been isolated from wood, some of which are identical with the intermediates; others supplement them. Work done in Heidelberg during the last 12 years is reported. Results from other laboratories are mentioned only when they apply directly to these topics.
