Abstract

Anodic oxidation of a methanolic solution of a number of phenols and phenol ethers (anethole, estragole, safrole, isosafrole, eugenol, and isoeugenol) in a single cell at constant current, with use of sodium methoxide or sodium methoxide-sodium perchlorate as the supporting electrolyte, afforded substitution and addition products, some of them not described previously in the literature.
