Abstract
Alkyl-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyacetophenones were oxidized with thallium(III) nitrate in methanol–trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) to give methyl alkyl-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenylacetates in a good yield. A simple modification of separating method from the reacting mixture allowed us to obtain the corresponding methyl (alkylsubstituted 3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadienyl)acetates.
