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.
