Abstract
Non-stoichiometric manganese dioxide prepared electrochemically at roo m temperature and suspended in dilute sulphuric acid is used to oxidis e isosafrole to piperonal in 54% isolated yield. The manganese dioxide -manganese(II) sulphate system can be recycled electrochemically at hi gh current density. It has the further advantage that water-soluble ma terials derived from the chemical oxidation of isosafrole at a lead di oxide anode leads to further oxidation of the piperonal.
