Description

1-Isopropenyl-4-methoxybenzene is a halide that can be used as a catalyst for the hydroxylation of styrene, yielding 1-isopropenyl-3-methoxybenzene. This reaction is catalyzed by acid or base. The hydrogen peroxide present in the reaction mixture oxidizes the methoxy group to an aldehyde, which then reacts with the styrene. In addition, this reagent can be used to methylate chlorides and transfer alkyl groups. The electroreduction of this compound yields c-h bond and peroxide. This reagent can also act as an oxidant in organic synthesis.
