Abstract

Alkoxy aromatic compounds are conveniently dealkylated to the corresponding phenolic compounds by treatment with aluminum chloride/N,N-dimethyl aniline complex. Aromatic poly O-demethylation is a unique feature of this invention. This process is applicable to the manufacture of polyphenols such as Resveratrol, Oxyresveratrol, Gnetol.
