Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical oxidation of naturally occurring allylic alcohols is described. Under direct anodic oxidation conditions, prenol 1 was readily oxidized, followed by rearrangement presumably on the surface of the anodic electrode, to give 3-hydroxy-2,2′-dimethyl-1,1′-dimethoxy propane 2 in high yield, whereas geraniol 5 afforded citral 6 under the same conditions.
