A facile synthesis of functionalized catechols

A general route to functionalized catechols is achieved by the reaction of 3,6-di(chloromethyl)-4,5-dimethyl-catechol with various nucleophiles in the presence of a base. The reactions are proposed to occur by way of a dehydrochlorinated intermediate which undergoes Michael additions to give the catechol products.
