Abstract
The invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of polyhydric phenols by hydroxylation of phenols with peroxidic hydroxylating agents and in the presence of 0.00005 to 0.03% by weight (relative to the phenols employed) of substances which can form chelate complexes with metal ions, such as nitrogen-containing di- or poly- carboxylic acids or phosphoric acid derivatives. The products of the process are known to be useful in the fields of photography, dyestuffs, plastics, fragrances and flavors.
