Popis: An oxidation system consisting of methyltrioxorhenium and H 2 O 2 catalyzes the cleavage of CC-double bonds. By varying the reaction conditions, it is possible to generate either the aldehyde or the carboxylic acid in reasonable-to-excellent yields and selectivities, depending on the starting material. The application of these findings to isoeugenol and trans -ferulic acid — both available from renewable resources — results in a highly efficient synthesis of vanillin.
