4-Chloro-2-methoxyphenol

Oxidative cleavage of cardanol methyl ether has led to 8-(3-methoxyphenyl)octanoic add, 8-(3-methoxyphenyloctaldehyde and the corresponding alcohol (ref. 226). A range of substituted 8-aryloctanoic acids have been prepared having chloro, bromo and nitro groups (X) as well as different alkoxyl substituents (R) (ref.302). Complete removal of the sidechain of cardanol methyl ether by way of a benzylic hydroperoxide, as for cumene hydroperoxide, to afford 3-methoxyphenol would appear to be possible.
