Synthesis of Myristicinaldehyde
"... But from nutmeg oil ?!?! YOU GOT TO BE CRAZY !!! LOL ! ... "
... Suppose SWIM was an eager Beeeee.
This Beeee would UTFSE & experiment with an Essential Oil Distillation of Nutmeg oil (or Mace oil) .
This Beeee read of this weblink https://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/nutmeg.myristicin.html
"The aromatic ether fraction of oil of nutmeg has been previously shown1 to consist of eugenol (Ia), isoeugenol (IIa), safrole (Ic) and myristicin (Id). Vacuum distillation yields a fraction (bp 109-112°C/1 mmHg; 60g from 1 kg of "W.I." oil of nutmeg (George Lueders and Co.)) which consisted of a substance heretofore accepted both chemically1,2 and pharmacologically3 as the single compound, myristicin (Id)."
According to Alexander S., " (from Oil of Nutmeg) The careful distillation of Oil of Nutmeg (or the Oil of Mace) allowed the isolation of a number of compounds in varying degrees of purity. The fraction that boiled in the 110-115 °C range at about 1.0 mm/Hg was myristicin (3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyallylbenzene). It constituted some 7% of the original oil of commerce and, in its original isolated form, was obtained with a purity of 87%. The major contaminant was elemicin (3,4,5-trimethoxyallylbenzene). "
This Beeee has a theory ~7-12% of a bottle of Nutmeg oil distilled will give the precious MYRISTICIN
.
This Beeeee continued to read "The isomerization of this fraction with alcoholic potassium hydroxide yielded (trans) isomyristicin"
This Beeeee read from another weblink

and another weblink https://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal132.shtml
"The syntheses have actually started from myristicinaldehyde (3-methoxy- 4,5-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde) (IV) produced by isomerisation of myristicin to isomyristicin and subsequent oxidation"
This Beeee couldn't find a direct scientific layout of [Isomyristicin ---> Myristicinaldehyde]
...soooo... :/ ... however, SWIM came across a weblink "isosafrole to piperonal" that may be relative ... https://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/piperonal.isosafrole.html

[ Back to the Chemistry Archive ]
Since the initial materials are not completely miscible with water, the effect of introducing a dispersing agent was studied; for this purpose sulphanilic acid (which had the additional advantage of protecting the aldehyde when formed from further oxidation) and also Dispersol were used. The oxidation of isosafrole to piperonal by potassium permanganate under tested reaction conditions was far too vigorous, and the main product was piperonylic acid, whereas sodium dichromate and sulphuric acid afforded a 70% yield of piperonal, which was increased to 80% and 86.5% by the use of Dispersol and sulphanilic acid respectively as dispersing agents. The higher yield promoted by the sulphanilic acid was ascribed to ephemeral formation of a Schiff's base with the aldehyde when formed. With isoeugenol, in which the benzene structure is not immobilized by the clamping arrangement of the methylenedioxy group, the chromic acid oxidation gives a yield of 67% of vanillin as compared with the 86.5% of piperonal obtained from isosafrole.
A mixture of isosafrole (32.4g, 0.2 mol), 50% aqueous sulphuric acid (160 g) and water (1 L) at 30-40°C was vigorously stirred during the gradual addition over 30 minutes of a solution of sodium dichromate (44g, 0.13 mol, +10% excess) in water (200 ml). Reduction of the dichromate to green chromium salt appeared to be almost immediate; the mixture was twice extracted with benzene (600 ml), and the combined extracts were washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide (200ml) followed by water (500ml). The extract was then dried over anhydrous calcium chloride, and the benzene removed, when the light brown residual oil crystallised on keeping (26g). The crude product was refluxed with ethyl alcohol (200 ml) and animal charcoal (10g), the crude solution filtered hot, and the bulk reduced to 100ml, when the piperonal was obtained in white crystals, mp 36-37°C (yield 21 g of pure product, 70%).
(b) With sulphanilic acid as dispersing agent.
Details were as in (a), except that the isosafrole was added to a solution of sulphanilic acid (12g) and sulphuric acid (80g, d 1.84) in water (1 L). Yield of pure product, 26 g. (86.5%). (c) Details were as in (a) except that Dispersol (5g) was present in the oxidation medium. Yield of pure product 24g (80%).

A solution of 50 g isomyristicin (1) in 300 ml dry acetone and 24 g pyridine was cooled to 0°C with vigorous stirring. There was then added 54 g of cold tetranitromethane which caused a slight temperature rise (to 5°C) despite the external cooling. The stirring was continued for 2 min at which time the reaction mixture was quenched with a chilled solution of 16.8 g KOH in 300 ml H2O. Stirring was continued while the heat of neutralization dissipated. and the product was then removed by filtration. An additional quantity of the nitropropene (for a total of 50.7 g, 82%) was obtained from the filtrates by extraction with methylene chloride. The low melting point (103°C) was due to a small contamination with myristicinaldehyde which is generated concurrently. Although it cannot interfere with the subsequent reaction below, it can be removed by recrystallization from methanol to yield yellow needles of 2, mp 110°C."

Apiolealdehyde (4, R = OCH3)
Employing the procedure described above for isomyristicin, isoapiole (mp 55–56°C obtained from apiole of Oil of Parsley) was nitrated to 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4 methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene, and this intermediate was similarly converted to the aldehyde. This product aldehyde (mp 102–103°C) was obtained in a 75% overall yield from isoapiole."

Benzaldehydes from Propenylbenzenes

Introduction
The preparation of aromatic aldehydes by the oxidation of compounds with side-chains containing ethylenic linkages via potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate was investigated, including the oxidation of isosafrole to piperonal and of isoeugenol to vanillin.
Since the initial materials are not completely miscible with water, the effect of introducing a dispersing agent was studied; for this purpose sulphanilic acid (which had the additional advantage of protecting the aldehyde when formed from further oxidation) and also Dispersol were used. The oxidation of isosafrole to piperonal by potassium permanganate under tested reaction conditions was far too vigorous, and the main product was piperonylic acid, whereas sodium dichromate and sulphuric acid afforded a 70% yield of piperonal, which was increased to 80% and 86.5% by the use of Dispersol and sulphanilic acid respectively as dispersing agents. The higher yield promoted by the sulphanilic acid was ascribed to ephemeral formation of a Schiff's base with the aldehyde when formed. With isoeugenol, in which the benzene structure is not immobilized by the clamping arrangement of the methylenedioxy group, the chromic acid oxidation gives a yield of 67% of vanillin as compared with the 86.5% of piperonal obtained from isosafrole.
Experimental: The preparation of aldehydes
(a) Without dispersing agent.A mixture of isosafrole (32.4g, 0.2 mol), 50% aqueous sulphuric acid (160 g) and water (1 L) at 30-40°C was vigorously stirred during the gradual addition over 30 minutes of a solution of sodium dichromate (44g, 0.13 mol, +10% excess) in water (200 ml). Reduction of the dichromate to green chromium salt appeared to be almost immediate; the mixture was twice extracted with benzene (600 ml), and the combined extracts were washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide (200ml) followed by water (500ml). The extract was then dried over anhydrous calcium chloride, and the benzene removed, when the light brown residual oil crystallised on keeping (26g). The crude product was refluxed with ethyl alcohol (200 ml) and animal charcoal (10g), the crude solution filtered hot, and the bulk reduced to 100ml, when the piperonal was obtained in white crystals, mp 36-37°C (yield 21 g of pure product, 70%).
(b) With sulphanilic acid as dispersing agent.
Details were as in (a), except that the isosafrole was added to a solution of sulphanilic acid (12g) and sulphuric acid (80g, d 1.84) in water (1 L). Yield of pure product, 26 g. (86.5%). (c) Details were as in (a) except that Dispersol (5g) was present in the oxidation medium. Yield of pure product 24g (80%).
Experimental--Variations in temperature and in amount of oxidizing agent used:
Variation | Yield |
Standard experiment (above) | 86.5% |
50% Excess Na2Cr2O7 | 82.0% |
Theoretical amount Na2Cr2O7 | 69.0% |
Reaction conducted at 20°C | 78.5% |
Reaction conducted at 20°C | 73.0% |
