Anethole cleavege

dextro88 - 16-5-2020 at 04:11

Hello all, from a few days im reseraching this topic, and find out only o-demethylation and hydrodeoxygenation of the aromatic OH group to cleave it to unsubstitited isoallylbenzene, did any of you have any ideas short-cut procedures, for example what will happen if i reflux anethole in HI acid or AlCl3 reflux in DCM, but in both ways there is a big chance to end up with the OH group and reduce only the methoxy moity, i will be glad if for any help :)

Hello sally! ;)
On the other forum you bragged that you knew the answer, before you got aggressively rude and started to fling shit around.
Obviously you should research the reaction of nickel boride with tosylate esters.
