Abstract

Abstract Anodic oxidation of 1, 2-dimethoxy-4-allylbenzene (methyl eugenol) under a variety of constant current conditions in methanolic sodium hydroxide affords the 1, 2-and 1, 4- methanol addition products expected from the EEC r C p mechanism. These results differ markedly from those recently reported. 1
