At room temperature, anisaldehyde (4-methoxybenzaldehyde) is synthesized based on the ozonolysis of anethole (1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)-benzene) in a novel and environmentally friendly system composed of water and ethyl acetate. In the presence of water, ozonolysis of anethole results in the direct formation of anisaldehyde, avoiding the isolation or decomposition of ozonide.
