Abstract: A method for the selective cleavage of a compound comprising an aromatic ring and a C—O—C linkage in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst is provided. The heterogenous catalyst may be a supported noble metal catalyst doped with a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine. By using this method, it is possible to increase the selectivity and/or yield (preferably both) of aromatic compounds.
