Abstract

Anodic oxidation of a series of substituted styrenes was investigated in methanol with a platinum and a graphite electrode. Use of the platinum anode gave mainly dimethoxylated monomers accompanied with one or more of three types of dimethoxylated dimers (αα-, αβ-, and ββ-dimers) depending on the substituents. Use of the graphite anode, however, afforded the ββ-dimers as the main product together with dimethoxylated monomers.
