"... the main oxidation product of isosafrole is piperonal, a widely used
product in the perfume industry. Large-scale production of piperonal
involves Cr(VI) as an oxidant [19]. Although economi- cally feasible,
the use of Cr(VI) is a drawback. Alterna- tive production processes
have been investigated, for example, homogeneous electrocatalysis
using a Ru(IV) pyridine complex [20] and more recently direct oxidation
with PbO2 or indirect oxidation with MnO2 as proposed by Grimshaw and
Hua [21]. piperonal yields of 48.9% [20] and 54% [21] in indirect
oxidation and 35% [21] in direct oxidation were obtained."
