Abstract

Abstract : Temperature‐directed biocatalysis was developed for the sustainable production of aromatic aldehydes or alcohols as described by F. Tao, P. Xu, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 1214 ff. The colors of the maple leaves represent the different reaction temperatures, which can determine the type of product formed. With this strategy, various aromatic aldehydes and alcohols were efficiently generated from readily available components of lignin.
