group. Under the same reaction conditions 2-methoxyphenol does not get demethylated; a mechanism to account for these findings is proposed. This reaction gives access to a variety of ortho-acylated catechols. Substituted catechols are widely used in supramolecular chemistry and are precursors of pesticides, flavors, and fragrances. Additionally, catechol moieties are found in various natural products
