That was part 1.
I wasn't sure that I should post it here as this forum is getting a little busy. Maybe it would be best if there was a separate forum for discussion of this kind of thing - books, journals, theory and where to up/down-load such stuff.
Note that "3855306.doc" etc, refer to the document on my drive where the article is stored - I could have edited it out for your benefit bees - but I already had this index and it's more convenient for me just to post it. The format of this stuff is usually MS word or text. A lot of it is already available on the web and more of it is of academic interest only.
If anyone wants this or if you think I should make it gernerally available we can discuss it here. I could transcribe these to HTML if anyone wants any to put on their site. Rather than posting it to people piecemeal I'd prefer to put it up on a web-site and I'd prefer that web-site creator to be anonymous. If demand is low I can just zip these things up and stick them on an ftp site somewhere.

Ring substituted phenylacetones can be prepared in high yield from the corresponding phenyl-3-propene [which is substituted by hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy etc.] by reacting the phenylpropene with an alkyl nitrite in the presence of a) an alcohol, b) palladium cat. to form 1-phenyl-2,2-dialkoxypropane which is hydrolysed by water to form the phenylacetone.

Process for 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-acetone preparation. Eur. Pat. App. 0247526, Filed: 02.12.87; to LARK S.p.a. Milan.
A process for preparing 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetone is disclosed, which consists in electrolytically epoxidating isoeugenol-methylether in a mixture consisting of water and of a dipolar aprotic solvent, in the presence of Br- ions, and in isomerizing the so-obtained epoxide, in an inert organic solvent, in the presence of catalytic amounts of lithium salts.

I think that Strike would probably not appreciate that his "Total Synthesis" was distributed as an E-book at the moment, as currently he needs all the money he can get from sales of his book to pay for his legal expenses (don't ask).
