Anodicoxidation in methanol of N-methylcarbanilides with an alkoxy-group para to the nitrogen atom (I) gives the intramolecularcyclizationproducts, N-methylbenzoxazolium perchlorates: no cyclizationproduct is obtained in the electrolysis of the anilides in acetonitrile. The process of cyclization was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis, and open circuit relaxation
