 note = {application/pdf, A novel procedure has been developed for selective cleavage of Cα-aryl bonds in lignin. This method was termed "Phenyl Nucleus-Exchange Method" (NE-method), based on the style of reaction. The impotant characteristic of NE-method is to dealkylate diphenylmethane type structural units involving lignin phenyl nuclei following the formation of such structures by lignin in a high yield by NE-method. In the present paper,the theory of NE-method and the degradation mechanism of lignin are outlined, and the application of NE-method for natural polyphenols and related substances is described., リグニンの側鎖-芳香核間結合を選択的に開裂させる新たな手法（核交換法，NE-法）を開
