Synthesis of laurate esters of pyrogallol and related phenols

Benjamin L. Van Duuren, M. H. Conklin, G. C. Lavers, Akiba Segal

Abstract

The synthesis of the laurate esters of pyrogallol, catechol, resorcinol, and quinol is described. The structures of pyrogallol mono- and di-laurate were determined by conversion into a sulphite ester and a mononitro-derivative, respectively, and by n.m.r. analysis. Pyrogallol is acylated directly with lauroyl chloride in the absence of pyridine, to give 4-lauroylpyrogallol.
