Bomon, Jeroen published the artcileBronsted Acid Catalyzed Tandem Defunctionalization of Biorenewable Ferulic acid and Derivates into Bio-Catechol, COA of Formula: C11H12O4, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2020), 59(8), 3063-3068, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
An efficient conversion of biorenewable ferulic acid into bio-catechol was developed. The transformation comprises two consecutive defunctionalizations of the substrate, i.e., C-O (demethylation) and C-C (de-2-carboxyvinylation) bond cleavage, occurring in one step. The process only requires heating of ferulic acid with HCl (or H2SO4) as catalyst in pressurized hot water (250¡ã, 50 bar N2). The versatility is shown on a variety of other (biorenewable) substrates yielding up to 84% di- (catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone) and trihydroxybenzenes (pyrogallol, hydroxyquinol), in most cases just requiring simple extraction as work-up.
