Catechol, also known as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, can be synthesized starting from benzene through a series of chemical reactions involving hydroxylation. One common method involves the following steps: 1. Friedel–Crafts Alkylation: Benzene undergoes alkylation with ethyl chloride in the presence of an aluminium chloride (AlCl₃) catalyst to form ethylbenzene. 2. Oxidation of Ethylbenzene: Ethylbenzene is then oxidized to acetophenone
