O -Demethylation of biobased anisole-like derivatives induced by acoustic energy: role of the cavitation bubble–water interface

Key Points

• The o-demethylation reaction demonstrated a significant increase at the cavitation bubble-water interface due to acoustic energy.
• Key evidence showed that the interaction results in enhanced reaction conditions, promoting the transformation of syringol.
• Analysis focused on the cavitation effects during the o-demethylation of syringol, revealing important mechanistic details.
• Findings suggest that understanding bubble dynamics could lead to improved applications in biobased chemistry.
