13C assignments of the carbon atoms in the aromatic rings of lignin model compounds of the arylglycerol beta-aryl ether type.

The 13C NMR signals from the aromatic ring carbons in a series of lignin model compounds of the arylglycerol beta-aryl ether type in DMSO solution have been assigned. The model compounds investigated are representative of the erythro and threo forms of differently substituted arylglycerol beta-aryl ethers.
