The anodic methoxylation of p-cymene and p-tert-butyltoluene afforded side-chain methoxylated products as well as nuclear-addition products.For nuclear-addition products both cis/trans isomers are possible and in both cases the cis isomer is in higher proportion than the trans one.The anodic methoxylation of 1,4-di-tert-butylbenzene afforded only nuclear-addition products and the anodic methoxylation of 1,4-di-isopropylbenzene afforded only side-chain products.A probable mechanism is provided.
