The main product of the Elbs reaction is the 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (hydro-quinone). If the para position is already occupied by a substituent, the reaction occurs at an ortho position, leading to a catechol derivative although the yields are not as good as for a hydroquinone. Better yields of catechols 7 can be obtained by a copper-catalyzed oxidation of phenols with molecular oxygen ... [Pg.103]
