Abstract

The anodic oxidations of the methyl ethers of p-arylphenols [p-aryl= C6H5, o-CH3C6H4, p- CH30C6H4, 0-[(CH3) 2-t-BuSiOCHz] C6H4, 0-[(H3CO) 2HC] C6H4, o-HOzCC6H4], the 2- hydroxyethyl ethers of p-arylphenols [p-aryl= C6H5, o-CH3C6H4, p-CH30C6H4, 3, 4- (CH30) zC&13, 2-thiopheneyl], and the 2-hydroxyethyl ethers of p-alkylphenols [pR= CH3, CzH5, i-C3H7, t-C4Hg] and 4-methyl-1-naphthol were studied. The p-aryl aromatic ethers ...
