Abstract

Anodic oxidation in a mixed solvent of acetic acid and acetic anhydride containing a variety of styrene derivatives, small amounts of Mn (OAc) 2· 4H 2 O and Cu (OAc) 2· H 2 O brought about a facile carboxymethylation to give the corresponding γ-butyrolactones as the main products in good yields.
