Photo-oxygenation of trans anethole (1), the main constituent of anise essential oil, using tetraphenylporphyrine (TPP) as a singlet oxygen sensitizer in chloroform gave 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (p-anisaldhyde) (2), 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-ol (3) as well as erythro and threo 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,2-diol (4a, 4b). The structures of the photo-oxygenation products were elucidated by spectral means.
