Veratrole electrolytic oxidation

This section covers the union of two aryl moieties, one of which is a fully alkylated phenol, and the other is either a free phenol or a phenol ether. Clearly, radical dimerization is not operative in such reactions. An early example is to be found in the work of Pitcher and Dietrich (1924) ° who showed that 3,3, 4,4 -tetramethoxybiphenyl was among the products of electrolytic oxidation of veratrole in sulfuric acid using a lead dioxide anode the biaryl was formed in about 20% yield based on reacted veratrole.
