D. Mitchell et al., ORTHO-HYDROXYL ASSISTED DEOXYGENATION OF PHENONES - REGIOCHEMICAL CONTROL IN THE SYNTHESIS OF MONOPROTECTED RESORCINOLS AND RELATED POLYPHENOLIC HYDROXYL SYSTEMS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(30), 1995, pp. 5335-5338
A method for the selective protection of polyphenolic hydroxyls is des
cribed. This approach relies on the deoxygenation of a benzylic ketone
ortho to at least one of the phenolic hydroxyl groups.
