Steps:
3 Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trihydroxybenzene from 1,2,4-Triacetoxybenzene
In an illustrative reaction, 670 g of 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzene (2.656 mol, 1 equivalent) was combined with 2.5 L of methanol, 1.5 L of deionized water, and 22 mL of 12 N hydrochloric acid (0.264 mol, 0.1 equivalents). The reaction mixture was then heated at reflux for 7 hours and cooled to room temperature over 14 hours. The reaction mixture was taken to dryness under reduced pressure to provide brown solids. 2 L of ethyl acetate was then added to the brown solids, which were then dissolved with heating. 200 g of solid NaHCO3 and 20 g of activated charcoal were then added. After heating to boiling for 30 minutes, the ethyl acetate solution was then allowed to partially cool. When the temperature reached approximately 45° C., the solids were removed by filtration and washed with an additional 400 mL of ethyl acetate. The filtrate was taken to dryness under reduced pressure to provide the product as a pale orange solid. After drying under vacuum, 314 g of product was collected (98%). FIG. 4 shows an illustrative 1H NMR spectrum in DMSO-d6 of 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene synthesized by acidic hydrolysis of 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzene. Additional purification was realized through recrystallization from ethyl acetate in some instances.
