Abstract
Oxidation of 4-allylphenols in MeOH has been carried out using thallium (III) nitrate to give two different types of reaction product. In the cases of 4-allylphenols with an electron-donating group (MeO), methoxylation takes place on the aromatic ring resulting in the formation of asatone-type compound as well as of 2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one. In the case of 4-allyl-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol, however, the allyl group was attacked by the reagent to give three phenols.
