By 'pure-syn' I actually meant vanillin created completely or mostly
using synthetic chemistry, as opposed to enzymes. Re-reading it now,
and to touch on your comments... the 'purely synthetic chemistry
route' is also not really 'purely synthetic chemisty' since the lignin
was not produced that way (it was biomass). Good point.
