I think the attachment will be very useful for those who intends to demethylate vanilin or iso-eugenol and want to close the benzodioxile ring later
to produce piperonal and safrole.
Two methods to demethylation and two methods to close the benzodioxile ring are given.

Something you may want to try as far as you can get some aromatic solvent

That said, don't be discouraged as vanillin itself is easily available, very interesting and you can do a lot of great experiments with it
(condensations, benzylidene compounds, nucleophilic substitution on the carbonyl, electrophilic substitution etc.). |
Hey, did you ever get to successfully make Vanillin nitrile/cyanide?

No unfortunately not - all attempts failed but we think that nickel boride may be a workable path to vanillylamine from the oxime.

Vanillin nitrile would be a relatively unstable compound dure to the fact it's slightly acidic by itself, and reacts with itself in acidic conditions
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoesch_reaction ). I'd suggest to protect hydroxy group first.

Doesn't Zn/NiCl2 reduce oximes? There is a patent saying so:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=20153#...
Although in this case it seems that Zn/NiCl2 reduction of the imine would suffice.
However I think the most efficient route would be the Mannich reaction of formaldehyde and ammonia with guaiacol, would it not?

I always thought the Mannich was a little dodgy with primary amines and ammonia, since the resulting primary/secondary amine forms a more stable imine
leading to overalkylation.

clearly_not_atara, it's called a Duff formylation. I'm not sure whether it's possible to stop the reaction at amine stage. Also ortho-to-hydroxy
substitution product might be a major one instead of para.
