%X Isoeugenol(1b) was oxidatively coupled by the quinone methide 2,6-di-t- butyl-4-methylenecyclohexa-2,5-dienone (4a). A simple isoeugenol- quinone methide addition product was not observed but a 2 : 1 isoeugenol quinone methide adduct was isolated. It is suggested that &#945;- &#945; links may occur in lignin.
