Abstract: A crucial reaction in harnessing renewable carbon from lignin is O-demethylation. We demonstrate the selective O-demethylation of syringol and guaiacol using different cytochrome P450 enzymes. These can efficiently use hydrogen peroxide which, when compared to nicotinamide cofactor-dependent monooxygenases and synthetic methods, allows for cheap and clean O-demethylation of lignin-derived aromatics.
