On the O–H bond dissociation enthalpy of catechol

Abstract

There are different estimations on the relative O–H bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of catechol, ranging from 4.6 kcal mol−1 to 14.1 kcal mol−1 lower than that of phenol. Through a kinetic analysis, the relative O–H BDE of −7.2 kcal mol−1 was supported.
