Anodic oxidation of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (II) in acetonitrile-acetic acid (3:1) containing sodium acetate gave an acetoxylated product in which the acetoxyl group is attached to the side-chain methyl group.On the other hand, oxidation of Schiff bases (I) derived from II under the same conditions gave cyclohexenetriones.The latter products were shown to be formed by further oxidation of the initially formed acetoxylated Schiff bases, in which the acetoxy group is introduced into the ring meta to the hydroxyl group.Keywords - anodic acetoxylation; cyclic voltametry; controlled potential electrolysis; salicylaldehydes; phenolic Schiff bases; cyclohexenetriones
