ABSTRACT
Methyleugenol 1a was oxidized to give 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetaldehyde by the oxidative system containing the RuCl3-NaIO4phase transfer catalyst. The yield and spectroscopic properties were
obtained from the stable acetaldoxim 3a. Furthermore, this
oxidation system could be applied to other arylpropenes, thus,
