A “lignin-first” biorefinery towards efficient aromatic monomer conversion from coconut shells using mild TMAH-based alkaline deep eutectic solvents† To achieve “lignin-first” dissolution and efficient aromatic monomer conversion from coconut shells, tailored alkaline deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were screened and designed by conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) calculations.
