  • Patent number: 5670465
    Abstract: p-Dihydroxylated aromatic compounds are prepared via the oxidation of p-fuchsones, the latter advantageously being synthesized by reacting a phenolic compound having at least one hydrogen atom in the para-position to the hydroxyl function with a non-enolizable ketonic compound, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of an acid catalyst and, optionally, a cocatalytically effective amount of an ionizable sulfur-containing compound.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 23, 1997
    Assignee: Rhone-Poulenc Chimie
    Inventors: Michel Costantini, Daniel Manaut, Daniel Michelet

  • Patent number: 5414155
    Abstract: o-Dihydroxylated aromatic compounds, for example pyrocatechol, are selectively prepared by reacting an o-fuchsone with an oxidizing agent, for example hydrogen peroxide, optionally in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of an acid catalyst.
