Lignin models of the biphenyl type have been synthesized and crystal structures of two of them have been determined. The tetraacetate of 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3,3'-dimethoxy-2,2'-biphenyldiol crystallizes in space group P1BAR with a = 11.319(2), b = 12.232(6), c = 9.242(3) angstrom, alpha = 101.66(3)-degrees, beta = 108.14(2)-degrees, gamma = 79.08(2)-degrees and Z = 2. R = 0.036 (2720 observed [I > 3sigma(I)] reflections). The acetate of 5,5'-di-tert-butyl-2',3,3'-trimethoxy-2-biphenylol crystallizes in space group P1BAR with a = 11.972(2), b = 21.621(3), c = 9.834(1) angstrom, alpha = 91.18(1)-degrees, beta = 113.13(1)-degrees, gamma = 98.42(1)-degrees, and Z = 4. R = 0.050 (8129 observed [I > 3sigma(I)] reflections). H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR data for the above-mentioned compounds and a third model, the diacetate of 5,5'-bis(1-hydroxyethyl)-2,2',3,3'-tetramethoxybiphenyl, are reported. Observed signal positions are compared with those calculated on the basis of crystal structure data. The possibilities to obtain structural information about biphenyl structures in lignins from NMR spectra are discussed.
