Claim 21:
22. The method of claim 21, wherein the starting material is lignocellulosic material and the method comprises the followings steps:
(1) subjecting the lignocellulosic material to a pulping process; thereby obtaining modified lignin-derived components;
(2)isolating the modified lignin-derived components;
(3) subjecting the modified lignin-derived components to a chemical decomposition step; thereby obtaining the at least one low molecular weight precursor compound;
(4)isolating and optionally modifying the at least one low molecular weight precursor compound; thereby obtaining the at least one low molecular weight aromatic precursor compound; and
(5) subjecting the at least one low molecular weight aromatic precursor compound to a substitution reaction, wherein one or more substituents are introduced into the at least one low molecular weight aromatic precursor compound; thereby obtaining the at least one substituted low molecular weight aromatic compound.
