Abstract

Electrochemical Syntheses. The Methoxylation of Dimethoxybenzenes to Quinone Ketals and the Ring Fission of 1,2-Dimethoxybenzene to Hexamethyl &,cis-Orthomuconate Sir: With the exception of the Kolbe reaction2 and vari- ous oxidation and reduction reactions which have found wide synthetic utility, very few explorations of the ap- plication of electrochemical methods to organic syn- thesis have been reported. The subject has been re- viewed by Allen.3 ...
