“…Lignin phosphorylation has been carried out under different conditions using various phosphorus reagents, such as phosphorus trihalides, phosphorus oxyhalides, phosphorus thiohalides, phosphorus oxides, and phosphorus sulfides, for instance. [44][45][46][47] Tetrahydrofuran, 38,48 pyridine, 39,49 acetonitrile, 47 dimethylformamide, formaldehyde 44,45 and urea 37 were also used as solvents for phosphorylation in different studies. The reaction conditions were reported to occur in the time range of 1-12 h and the temperature range of 25-180°C.…”
