A study has been made of the electrochemical cleavage of the double bond of propenylbenzene (Ia) and p-propenylanisole (Ib), which takes place upon anodic oxidation of (Ia, b) in alcoholic solutions of sodium trifluoroacetate and other electrolytes and which leads to conversion of (Ia, b) to benzaldehyde dialkylacetals.Conditions are found that provide for highly selective (>80percent) conversion of (Ib) and p-propenyltoluene to p-methyl- and p-methoxybenzaldehyde dimethylacetals.

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.
MERCURY(II) OXIDE/TETRAFLUOROBORIC ACIDPROMOTED VICINAL HYDROXY- AND ALKOXYLATION OF ALKENES

The reaction of alkenes with mercury(II) oxide/tetrafluoroboric acid and alcohols or water involves reduction to Hg(O) and vicinal diethers or diols are produced in good yields.Olefins bearing benzylic hydrogens in an α position lead to cinnamyl ethers.Mechanisms are proposed to account for the products and their stereochemistry.
