Pyrogallol, and analogues thereof having an alkyl, carboxy or alkoxycarbonyl substituent in the benzene ring, and their salts, are prepared by oxidizing, preferably by hydrogen peroxide, the corresponding compounds in which 1 or 2 of the OH groups are replaced by --COR.sup.5 groups where R.sup.5 represents hydrogen, alkyl or phenylalkyl. The production of intermediates is also described and some of these are novel.
