This short review encompasses the last relevant studies that have been unveiling efforts to increase the efficiency of lignin depolymerization and functionalization into bio-based platform chemicals. One of the drawbacks upon lignin depolymerization is the undesired condensation reactions (repolymerization) that negatively affect the yields of lignin monomers. Some recent technologies have demonstrated to be effective on protecting lignin from repolymerization and enhancing depolymerization efficiency. Furthermore, functionalization of lignin aromatic monomers is needed to move towards a more sustainable chemical industry. As major example, the amination of lignin depolymerization products stands as hot research topic for future lignin valorization, the latest achievements being addressed in this review.

这篇简短的综述涵盖了最新的相关研究，这些研究揭示了提高木质素解聚效率和功能化为生物基平台化学品的努力。木质素解聚的缺点之一是不期望的缩合反应（再聚合），其对木质素单体的产率产生负面影响。最近的一些技术已被证明可以有效地保护木质素免于再聚合并提高解聚效率。此外，需要对木质素芳香族单体进行功能化，以实现更可持续的化学工业。作为主要例子，木质素解聚产物的胺化是未来木质素增值的热门研究课题，本综述将讨论最新成果。
