Abstract
This method provides a novel trimethylcatechol diester, i.e. 3,4,5-trimethylcatechol diester, at a high yield by reacting 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexe-2-en-1,4-dione with an acylating agent in the presence of an acid catalyst. The acylating agent includes a C.sub.2-4 carboxylic acid anhydride (e.g. acetic anhydride) and a C.sub.2-4 carboxylic acid halide (e.g. acetyl chloride). The catalyst includes a protonic acid and a Lewis acid. Use of a polar solvent (e.g. halogenated hydrocarbon), as the reaction catalyst, results in an enhanced efficiency in the production of the object compound.
