The butterfly metamorphosis Within the cocoon's shell (aryl methyl ethers) is encased a secret beauty (phenols), how to liberate it? In their Review (e202317257), Bert U. W. Maes, and Bert F. Sels et al. comprehensively summarize the advancements and perspectives of lignin O‐demethylation (metamorphosis). The presence of methoxy groups (cocoon) limits the chemical reactivity and the applicability of lignin‐derived compounds. Through O‐demethylation (metamorphosis), the reborn product (butterfly) rich in phenolic functionality can start a versatile new life with broader applications.
