Abstract
The Wacker reaction is one of the finest examples of transition metal promoted nucleophilic addition to olefins. An unusual observation has been made with regard to the normal Wacker process, whereby, the oxidation of eugenol (1) and methyl chavicol (2) does not lead to their respective carbonyl compounds. The reactions leading to the formation of two novel products and their mechanistic aspects are discussed.
